A target HR of 115 beats/min was highly sensitive and specific for determination of exercise-induced TWA as an index of risk of malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias. However, a significant number of patients may not be able to achieve this target HR, resulting in an indeterminate test. The value of pharmacologic testing in this group should be assessed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
