Abstract

Silent myocardial ischaemia is a very common phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease. It may occur in patients with clinical manifestations of angina, be detected during the post-myocardial infarction period or in patients totally asymptomatic. Whatsoever, it is well demonstrated that silent myocardial ischaemia has a very potent prognostic value. Therapeutic implications are similar to those in symptomatic ischaemia. Indications for myocardial revascularization by mean of angioplasty or bypass grafting may be discussed and depend on ventricular function and extension of coronary lesions.
