Silent Ischemia
Myocardial ischemia can occur without overt symptoms. In fact, asymptomatic (or silent) ST-segment depression during ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring occurs more often than symptomatic ST-segment depression in patients with coronary artery disease. Initial studies documented that silent ischemia provided independent prediction of adverse outcomes in patients with known and unknown corona...
متن کاملSilent myocardial ischemia.
Silent myocardial ischemia is increasingly recognized as a common phenomenon in a variety of people with coronary artery disease. The natural history is poorly understood, but available data suggest that silent ischemia adversely affects prognosis in all groups studied. Based on this information, we believe that efforts should be directed at detecting and aggressively treating silent ischemic e...
متن کاملNatural History of Silent Ischemia
T herapeutic decisions in patients with coronary artery disease are frequently based on the severity of chest pain despite the lack of correlation between severity of symptoms and prognosis. There are many circumstances in which objective evidence for myocardial ischemia is present but symptoms are absent. Episodes of so-called “silent myocardial ischemia” are very frequent in some patients wit...
متن کامل[Silent myocardial ischemia in patients after myocardial infarction].
Twenty-six men and women, aged 36-65 years, were studied 8-12 weeks after the first myocardial infarction with regard to silent ischemic ST-segment depression and heart rate by using 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography and bicycle exercise testing. In 22 patients ambulatory ST-segment recordings revealed 81 episodes of ST-segment depression, including 34 (41.9%) painful and 47 (58.1%) painle...
متن کاملSymptomatic hemorrhage after alteplase therapy not due to silent ischemia
BACKGROUND Stroke thrombolysis-related intracerebral hemorrhage may occur remotely from the anatomical site of ischemia. One postulated mechanism for this is simultaneous multiple embolization with hemorrhage into a "silent" area of ischemia. RESULTS A patient suffered a disabling stroke affecting the right cerebral hemisphere. He was treated with intravenous alteplase and underwent extensive...
