This meta-analysis of 34 studies found that ventricular arrhythmias during stress testing were linked to increased mortality, even in asymptomatic individuals. Frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) further increased risk. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was not associated with mortality but predicted future AF and coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction. These findings highlight the prognostic value of stress-induced arrhythmias.
