The hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of sudden cardiac death in men with asymptomatic ST-depression during exercise according to conventional risk factor levels. Men without ischaemic ST-change during exercise was a reference group. Cut-off for systolic blood pressure was 132 mmHg and for serum LDL-cholesterol 3.9 mmol/L. All hazard ratios are adjusted for age, alcohol consumption, body mass index, maximal oxygen uptake, diabetes, cigarette smoking, systolic blood pressure, C-reactive protein, and serum low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, except the risk factor of interest.
