Treadmill exercise testing performed according to the Bruce protocol (MAX-1 Marquette advanced exercise system, software version 002E). The system analyzed the signal averaged ECG and produces a graphical display of the level of the ST segment 80 ms after the J point against time. Time to 1 mm ST depression was measured from computer derived analysis, effectively eliminating observer bias.
Exercise capacity was measured using exercise time.
