Ambulatory ST segment monitoring in the assessment of patients following PTCA.
In this article we discuss the place of ambulatory ST-segment monitoring in the investigation of the patient following coronary angioplasty. Particular attention is focused on the relationship between the results of exercise testing (the standard technique in the evaluation of the post-angioplasty patient) and ambulatory ST-segment monitoring, in order to assess whether ST-segment monitoring might contribute further information in the identification of residual or recurrent ischaemia.
