[A preliminary report on silent myocardial ischemia detected using ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring]. 1989

J Z Feng, and X H Feng, and H J Li

572 cases have been examined with ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring (AEM). They are divided clinically into three groups, (1) cases after myocardial infarction (2) cases with angina (3) cases without coronary artery disease (CAD). The incidences of silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) in the three groups were 80%, 24% and 3% respectively. The ratios of silent myocardial ischemia to symptomatic myocardial ischemia in groups (1) and (2) were 88.8% and 70.4%. It is shown that silent myocardial ischemia is very frequent in CAD. The article also reviewed and discussed the criteria for diagnosis of SMI, the mechanism of its presence, and its relation to degree of ST segment depression and daily activities.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

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.
