Prognostic Significance of VPBs during the Exercise Test and the Recovery Phase

Population	Variable	Prognosis	Study
General population	VPBs	VPBs during exercise cause 60%–80% increase in risk of death of all causes	Meibodi et al.5
		VPBs during 5‐minute recovery increase all‐cause mortality but not SCD	Goldberger et al.10
Intermediate pretest probability of CAD	Exercise‐induced VA	Greater prevalence of segmental wall motion abnormalities and ischemia on echocardiography	Elhendy et al.6
		Greater incidence of redistribution on Thallium stress test and increased risk of SCD	Marieb et al.7
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy	Exercise‐induced VA	2.82‐fold increase in SCD and ICD discharge	Gimeno et al.8
Heart failure	Ventricular ectopy during the recovery phase	Ventricular ectopy during recovery is associated with an increase in all cause mortality	O'Neill at al.11
SUDS family members	Inappropriate QT prolongation, dynamic Brugada pattern, ventricular ectopy during exercise testing	Anormal QT prolongation and dynamic Brugada pattern were diagnostic of long QT syndrome and BrS, respectively. In one third of patients with ventricular ectopy phenotypic cardiomyopathy or channelopathy was demonstrated on further investigations	Raju et al.35
