Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In patients with angina pectoris, ambulatory ST segment monitoring has documented that asymptomatic myocardial ischemic episodes occur with greater frequency than previously suspected. During such episodes, ischemia has been verified by nuclear, echocardiographic, and biochemical techniques. Painless ST segment depression is consistent with severe coronary artery disease when detected by ambulatory monitoring in patients with angina and portends a worsened prognosis in patients about to have vascular surgical procedures. On the other hand, ST depression without angina has a better prognosis than ST depression with angina during treadmill exercise testing. Silent ischemia of prolonged duration per 24-hour period suggests a poor prognosis in patients with a history of unstable angina or myocardial infarction. |
