title: Application of continuous ST-segment monitoring in the detection of silent myocardial ischemia.
abstract: The detection of silent myocardial ischemia in patients presenting to emergency departments with atypical chest pain remains problematic. We describe the case of a patient with silent ischemia detected by continuous ST-segment monitoring, resulting in the prompt institution of therapeutic modalities.
