Abstrakt: Exercise testing is important in assessing patients suitable for a rehabilitation programme. The factors associated with inability to complete the exercise test were: being elderly; high level of triglyceride and hyperlipidemia; hypertension; diabetes mellitus; and severe or multiple areas of stenosis demonstrated by coronary artery angiograms. These findings have important implications for rehabilitation programmes. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
