Prognostic value of exercise testing.
We thank Dr Rønnevik for his comments on our article. Early works, such as the one published by Rønnevik and Von der Lippe are very valuable because they alert us to the real value of exercise testing. One of the main conclusions of the study of Rønnevik et al., namely that work capacity is associated with poor outcome in patients suspected of having myocardial infarction, fits well with our re...
متن کاملExercise testing post-MI: still worthwhile in the interventional era.
Valeur et al. report findings from a substudy of the DANAMI-2 trial. The paper describes the prognostic importance of a pre-discharge maximal exercise test following acute myocardial infarction in the era of aggressive reperfusion treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Exercise testing has been validated and adopted for risk stratification before discharge in patients with acu...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Treadmill Exercise Testing
Background—The prognostic value of treadmill exercise testing (TMET) has been studied in selected populations. The generalizability of these data to different populations and to women is uncertain. Methods and Results—A retrospective, population-based cohort study of all persons (1452 men and 741 women) who underwent TMET in years 1987 to 1989 in Olmsted County, Minnesota, was undertaken. Indiv...
متن کاملThe prognostic value of exercise testing in elderly men.
PURPOSE Our purposes were to compare the responses to exercise testing in elderly (> or =65 years of age) and younger men, and to investigate whether exercise testing has similar prognostic value in the two age groups. METHODS We included all elderly (n = 1185) and younger (n = 2789) male veterans without established coronary heart disease who underwent routine clinical exercise testing betwe...
متن کاملAmiodarone and post-MI patients.
Amiodarone is a viable drug for preventing sudden cardiac death, particularly during the first year after MI. If larger trials confirm the aforementioned prospective trials of Ceremuzynski et al, Cairns et al, and the BASIS trial, the efficacy of amiodarone would outweigh the risk of its side effects during the first year after MI. Based on the long-term observation from the BASIS trial, the du...
