Five year follow-up of double Master's test, maximal treadmill stress test, and resting and postexercise apexcardiogram in asymptomatic persons.

Thirty-Month Follow-up of Maximal Treadmill Stress

One hundred normal subjects who had a double Master's test and a maximal treadmill stress test (MTST) were clinically evaluated 30 months later. Ninety-nine of these 100 subjects (99%) had a follow-up treadmill test at 30 months. One of four subjects (25%) with initially an abnormal double Master's test developed coronary heart disease within 30 months. Three of 96 subjects (3.1%) with initiall...

Maximal treadmill stress test correlated with postexercise phonocardiogram in normal subjects.

One hundred normal subjects, mean age 51, who had had a simultaneous phonocardiogram and electrocardiogram at rest and after a double Master's test had a maximal treadmill stress test. Thirteen of 100 normal people (13%) had an abnormal maximal treadmill stress test with at least 1.0 mm of ischemic ST-segment depression. Ten of 29 normal subjects (34%) with a fourth heart sound and four of 11 n...

Five-year follow-up of maximal treadmill stress test in asymptomatic men and women.

A five-year follow-up of 888 asymptomatic men and women without known coronary heart disease (CHD) who had a maximal treadmill stress test (MTST) revealed a CHD incidence of 1.1% per year. In women, exercise duration of 3 minutes or less by the Ellestad protocol correlated with subsequent development of CHD (p less than 0.001), although abnormal ST-segment and R-wave responses did not. In men 4...
