Silent myocardial ischaemia in Holter monitoring and exercise stress testing after a first myocardial infarction

Silent ischaemic ST segment depression and heart rate changes during ambulatory 24 h electrocardiography and bicycle exercise stress testing were studied 8–12 weeks after the first myocardial infarction in 22 patients, aged 36–65 years (X; = 50.2). During Holter monitoring it was found that 18 patie...

Description
Summary:Silent ischaemic ST segment depression and heart rate changes during ambulatory 24 h electrocardiography and bicycle exercise stress testing were studied 8–12 weeks after the first myocardial infarction in 22 patients, aged 36–65 years (X; = 50.2). During Holter monitoring it was found that 18 patients had 64 episodes of ST segment depression, including 27 (42.2%) symptomatic and 37 (57.8%) asymptomatic episodes. Mean maximal ST segment depression in painful and painless episodes was 3.5 ± 1.1 mm and 2.4 ± 1.2 mm(P
