title: Myocardial ischemia without pain: recognition and clinical picture.
abstract: Recognition of the various syndromes of asymptomatic coronary artery disease often depends on the fortuitous observation of ECG abnormalities during stress testing or routine examinations. The clinical picture of silent myocardial ischemia--the most prevalent of the syndromes--depends on whether patients are totally asymptomatic, are asymptomatic after an infarction, or have angina. As with symptomatic disease, prognosis appears related to the extent of vessel disease and left ventricular dysfunction.
