title: [Is it necessary to treat silent myocardial ischemia?].
abstract: Since the mid eighties of our century the clinical importance of silent myocardial ischemia, concerning definition, prevalence and pathophysiology is well established. The implication of silent myocardial ischemia, or its combination with other parameters of coronary heart disease on the outcome of ischemic heart disease concerning the endpoints myocardial infarction, myocardial insufficiency or death is still not clear. In consequence therapeutic guidelines at the moment can not be given for the entire spectrum of silent ischemia, whereas some details are becoming more and more evident.
