Prognostic importance of exercise electrocardiography in patients with suspected microvascular disease
In patients with suspected CMD, ischaemic ST-segment changes are of limited prognostic value, showing poor sensitivity and low PPV for the occurrence of MACE. However, reduced exercise capacity was an independent risk factor and, therefore, ex-ECG testing could be considered if a functional assessment of patients is warranted.
