[Correlation between the stress test electrocardiogram and Holter monitoring in asymptomatic myocardial ischemia].
The author separated a group of 22 patients with ischaemic ST depression revealed by Holter-monitoring without symptoms, and compared it with the results obtained by ergonometry testing. Angina pectoris, a key symptom on which were based many epidemiological and clinical studies, could not be considered as a reliable criterion for the evaluation of patients with ischaemic heart disorder. Non-invasive diagnostic methods (ergometry testing and Holter-monitoring) used by the author in this study were particularly significant in the establishment of early diagnostic of cardiac ischaemic disorder and detection of symptomatic and asymptomatic episodes of myocardial ischaemia. Asymptomatic myocardial ischaemia during ergometry testing and Holter-monitoring has equal importance in surviving of patients as ischaemia followed with angina pectoris. For that reason, early ischaemia are of great importance for patients' fate.
