Abstract

In summary, patients with stable coronary disease who demonstrated both ischemia and decreased exercise capacity during routine exercise testing are at highest risk for cardiovascular events. Patients with an electrocardiographic or thallium ischemic response to exercise but preserved exercise capacity do not have a worse prognosis than patients who do not demonstrate ischemia.
