Usefulness of ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring for myocardial ischemia after coronary bypass.

Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring can help to ensure that these patients, who are unaware of their high-risk status, are relieved of residual myocardial ischemia in response to cardioprotective medication, and rendered as low cardiac risk.
