Coronary artery calcium, exercise tolerance, and CHD events in asymptomatic men

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores ≥100 are predictive of CHD events in asymptomatic men. Exercise tolerance of ≥10 METs predicts lower event rates in CHD patients; however, its relationship with events in individuals with subclinical atherosclerosis is less known. Participants were 710 asymptomat...

Zusammenfassung:	Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores ≥100 are predictive of CHD events in asymptomatic men. Exercise tolerance of ≥10 METs predicts lower event rates in CHD patients; however, its relationship with events in individuals with subclinical atherosclerosis is less known. Participants were 710 asymptomatic men from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study whose exercise tolerance (ET) was quantified (
