OBJECTIVE To assess extent and localization of coronary artery lesions in patients with painless myocardial ischemia. METHODS Tredmill stress-echocardiograghy, Holter ECG monitoring and coronary angiography were carried out in 59 male patients (age 30-72, mean 54.5 years) with either angina pectoris or painless ischemia. RESULTS Among patients with painless ischemia 50% had 2-vessel disease, mostly with right coronary artery involvement (87.5%) and there was no case of left main stenosis. Patients with angina were characterized by significantly higher index of obstruction (p<0.005) and often had multivessel coronary artery disease (48.8%). CONCLUSIONS Patients with effort angina compared with those with painless ischemia had more extensive and severe coronary artery involvement while the latter more often had right coronary artery stenoses.

D000787 Angina Pectoris The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation. It is thought to be provoked by a transient stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the MYOCARDIUM exceed that supplied by the CORONARY CIRCULATION. Angor Pectoris,Stenocardia,Stenocardias
D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
