Abstract

In order to ascertain the prognostic value of exercise testing in patients suffering nontransmural myocardial infarction, 74 patients performed a bicycle-ergometric test 4 weeks after the onset of the illness. The test induced angina and/or ischemic changes of ECG in 33 (group B) patients and no ischemic abnormalities in 41 (group A) patients. Following the exercise testing, all the patients performed a similar supervised exercise training program. Group A patients increased both their maximal work capacity (MWC) (mean + 26.4%, P
