title: [Silent myocardial ischemia with raised ST tract in 2 octogenarian patients without ischemic cardiopathy].
abstract: The authors describe two recently observed cases of silent angina with ST segment elevation. The patients, both 80-years old, were submitted to 24-hour Holter examination to account for recurrent episodes of dizziness. The examination revealed silent angina with ST elevation concentrated mainly in the late evening and morning hours, accompanied by accelerated heart rate. Treatment with low diltiazem doses was completely successful.
