ABSTRACT
Silent ischemia is defined as evidence of myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease in the absence of angina or anginal-equivalent symptomatology. Prior study has documented the clinical1-3 and prognostic4-6 implications of silent ischemia experienced during daily life, evidenced by transient asymptomatic ST segment depression on ambulatory electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring in populations of women and men.
