This editorial refers to ‘The prognostic value of pre-discharge exercise testing after myocardial infarction treated with either primary PCI or fibrinolysis: a DANAMI-2 sub-study’{dagger} by N. Valeur et al., on page 119

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Valeur et al.1 report findings from a substudy of the DANAMI-2 trial. The paper describes the prognostic importance of a pre-discharge maximal exercise test following acute myocardial infarction in the era of aggressive reperfusion treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Exercise testing has been validated and adopted for risk stratification before discharge in patients with acute coronary syndromes for several years.2,3 In addition to providing important prognostic information, exercise testing has also been used to select high-risk patients with provocable myocardial ischaemia (MI) suitable for revascularization.4 A pre-discharge exercise test also has significant impact on . . .
