Abstract

Treadmill exercise tests were carried out in 397 women, aged 20 to 69, who were selected at random from an unorganized population. Four types of response were identified: ischemia, reduced stress tolerance due to excessively elevated systolic arterial blood pressure or other causes; reduced stress tolerance due to premature muscular fatigue or dyspnea (in less than 9 minutes of exercise) and the adequate type. The parameters of adequate response to physical stress were established. The incidence of ischemic response was relatively small in women, as compared to men. Ischemic response was only seen in women between 50 and 69 years of age, making a 4.5% rate.
