Exercise echocardiography (EE) is recommended for patients with known/suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with worse outcome and patients with LVH have frequently resting ECG abnormalities. We sought to assess the value of EE for predicting outcome in patients with known/suspected CAD and LVH.
