Circulation. 2001;103:2566-2571
.
Clinical, exercise testing, and echocardiographic data were collected in 5375 patients (aged 54±14 years, 3880 men) undergoing exercise echocardiography.
.
Over the first 6 years of follow-up, those with normal exercise echocardiograms had a mortality of 1% per year.
.
