Abstract

17 patients with stable angina pectoris due to coronary occlusive disease had serial graded exercise tests performed while on no medication, after treatment with propranolol and after an 8-week exercise reconditioning regimen while taking propranolol. The patient whose angina-free exercise capacity on β-blockade is 2.5 METs or greater is likely to benefit from an exercise program.
