Reproducibility of exercise-induced ventricular premature beats.
Repeated maximum exercise testing with an intertest interval of one hour is a valid model for testing drug efficacy and safety on ventricular arrhythmias occurring during exercise. In the two consecutive exercise tests the mean total number of VES was 182 and 184 respectively and the slope of the regression equation relating both tests was close to unity.
