Abstract

The article provides an overview of the study about the type of exercise-induced ventricular arrhythmia (EIVA) on exercise test and risk for death. It assesses whether patients with EIVA during exercise testing are at higher risk for bad outcomes, such as death. Researchers found that only those patients with right bundle-branch bloc (RBBB) abnormality EIVA are more likely to die than those without the disease. It is considered that not all EIVA is associated with bad outcomes.
