This study was undertaken to compare the relative values of the low level predischarge exercise test and the postdischarge (6 weeks) symptom-limited test in 518 consecutive patients admitted with an acute myocardial infarction. Of the patients who did not develop significant ST segment depression or angina during the predischarge test, the symptom-limited test also remained negative in 91.5 and 91.9% of the patients, respectively. Similar results were obtained with ST segment elevation and the systolic blood pressure response during the two exercise tests with only 2.1 and 11.4% changing from normal to abnormal, respectively. |
