Materials and Methods Athlete's group comprised 414 subjects (24 +/- 8 years, 95.5% males), non-athlete's - 107 (63 +/- 10 years, 42% males). Stress testing lasted longer and heart rate (HR) increased more in athletes compared to non-athletes. A TWA cluster was defined in case of uninterrupted appearance of TWA > 30 seconds.

Objective We analysed the prevalence of TWA during cardiopulmonary stress test (CPT) in athletes and in patients with suspected or proven coronary artery disease with stress electrocardiographic test.

Abstract

Objective We analysed the prevalence of TWA during cardiopulmonary stress test (CPT) in athletes and in patients with suspected or proven coronary artery disease with stress electrocardiographic test.

Materials and Methods Athlete's group comprised 414 subjects (24 +/- 8 years, 95.5% males), non-athlete's - 107 (63 +/- 10 years, 42% males). Stress testing lasted longer and heart rate (HR) increased more in athletes compared to non-athletes. A TWA cluster was defined in case of uninterrupted appearance of TWA > 30 seconds.
