Key result
Negative exercise stress echocardiography yields ~99% negative predictive value for cardiovascular events at 17 months.
Why the study?
The prognostic value and feasibility of exercise stress echocardiography as a newly implemented method at the center were evaluated in a medium-term follow-up.
Observational (n=204)
No

Jukl et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Ischemic heart disease (n=204). Exercise stress echocardiography was evaluated on Negative predictive value for cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, or revascularization (NPV 98.8%). A negative diagnostic exercise stress echocardiography result demonstrated an excellent negative predictive value of 98.8% for cardiovascular events over a median follow-up of 17 months.
