title: Why we should attempt to eliminate (silent and symptomatic) ischemia in patients with chronic stable angina.
abstract: There is no doubt that angina patients with symptomatic ischemia face a poor prognosis and that treatment of these patients is necessary. However, there is no consensus regarding the prognostic value or treatment of silent ischemia in patients with stable angina. It is in this context that the advantages of treating silent ischemia are presented.
