Risk stratification after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is essential in identifying those at high risk of future events. Treadmill exercise tolerance testing is one of a series of investigations commonly used to help determine AMI patients' prognosis. This article looks at the role of this investigation in risk stratification.
