The prognostic value of exercise testing early after myocardial infarction in patients treated with thrombolytics

Exercise testing early post A MI was evaluated as a predictor of re infarction in patients treated with thrombolytics. AMI patients exercise-tested prior to discharge were included in the study (n = 178). The patients were followed for 2.9±0.9 years (mean±1 SD) for the development of new cardiac eve...

Description
Summary:Exercise testing early post A MI was evaluated as a predictor of re infarction in patients treated with thrombolytics. AMI patients exercise-tested prior to discharge were included in the study (n = 178). The patients were followed for 2.9±0.9 years (mean±1 SD) for the development of new cardiac events defined as cardiac death or reinfarction. Cox regression analysis of clinical and exercise test variables showed that there was significant predictive value of treating heart failure with drugs from two or more therapeutic groups (P
