Executive Summary
A Finnish study has highlighted the importance of exercise testing as a means of predicting coronary heart disease (CHD) I asymptomatic, high-risk men. In men with increased risk of CHD, such as smokers and hypercholesterolaemic or hypertensive men, the identification of exercise-induced silent myocardial ischaemia is of significant additional prognostic value, researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (July).
