Pharmacological therapy can reduce diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of exercise stress testing. However, the risk of withdrawing drugs early after myocardial infarction (MI) has not been established. We assessed safety and clinical implications of drug withdrawal in patients undergoing stress testing after uncomplicated MI.
