title: Early detection of chronic myocardial ischemia in a patient implanted with an ICD capable of intracardiac electrogram monitoring.
abstract: Although myocardial ischemia monitored by some implantable cardioverter-defibrillators has the potential to improve patient care, no clinical experience with this novel technology has been described yet. We report for the first time ischemic intracardiac ST changes detected in a patient with coronary artery disease.
