Diagnostic characteristics and prognoses of primary-care patients referred for clinical exercise testing: a prospective observational study

Conclusions: Clinical characteristics can be used to predict exercise test outcome. Primary care patients with a negative exercise test have a very low risk of cardiovascular events, within six months. A predictive model based on clinical characteristics can be used to refine the identification of low-risk patients.
