[Use of long-term monitoring observation and a physical load test for detecting persons with a high risk of sudden death among chronic ischemic heart disease patients].
During a two-year follow-up of 144 patients who had recovered from myocardial infarction and who were subjected to the physical load test and ECG recording for 24 hours by Holster's method 10 cases of sudden death were encountered. A statistically significant correlation was revealed (p less than 0.001) between a definite combination of the results of the physical load test and ECG monitoring and the subsequent sudden death. The study showed that these methods may be considered mutually complementary in detecting individuals with a poor prognosis. The results of the analysis may be used as criteria in the selection of individuals who are threatened most with sudden death.
