[Prognostic value of ischemic changes of the electriccardiogram during and after exertion in an active male population].
As part of the first examination conducted in the Paris Prospective Study, 6 565 healthy males aged between 42 and 53 years underwent a submaximal exercise test on the bicycle ergometer. Ischaemic changes in the ST segment during or after exercise were noted in 6% of the tests. The predictive value of these changes for the development of ischaemic heart disease after 4 years has been assessed. The risk of sequelae is 3.2 times greater in this group than in the group with no changes. The variations of this risk with the precise timing of the onset of these ischaemic ST segment changes during the course of the test and with the type of heart disease have been studied.
