Prognostic value of a treadmill exercise score in outpatients with suspected coronary artery disease.
N Engl J Med. 1991; (12): 849-53
The treadmill exercise test identifies patients with different degrees of risk of death from cardiovascular events. We devised a prognostic score, based on the results of treadmill exercise testing, that accurately predicts outcome among inpatients referred for cardiac catheterization. This study was designed to determine whether this score could also accurately predict prognosis in unselected outpatients.
