Abstract
The prevalence of an abnormal maximal treadmill stress test (MTST) was correlated with coronary risk factors in 1,077 asymptomatic adults (709 men and 368 women) in Long Beach, California. Of 1,077 adults, 113 (10.5%) had a positive MTST. A positive MTST was correlated with sex (p < 0.001), age (p < 0.001), a serum cholesterol ≥ 200 mg% (p < 0.02), hypertriglyceridemia (p < 0.05), cigarette smoking (p < 0.025), and with the number of coronary risk factors (p < 0.005) but not with hypertension, cigar or pipe smoking, obesity, or blood sugar.Keywords
