[Prognostic value of treadmill exercise echocardiography].

Introduction And Objectives: Exercise echocardiography (EE) is useful for diagnosing coronary disease, but little is known about its value for risk stratification. We aimed to determine: a) whether data from EE supplemented clinical data and data from exercise testing and resting echocardiography in predicting cardiac events; and b)whether the number and location of abnormal regions and their responses to exercise influenced risk stratification.

Patients And Method: The 2,436 patients referred for EE were followed up for 2.
