Key result
Holter ECG monitoring detects hidden myocardial changes to help prevent life-threatening arrhythmias in CAD.
Why the study?
CAD often presents atypically and leads to arrhythmias, requiring timely diagnosis via Holter ECG monitoring to adjust treatment and prevent life-threatening arrhythmias.
Does Holter ECG monitoring improve the detection of hidden arrhythmias in patients with coronary artery disease?
Does Holter ECG monitoring improve the detection of hidden arrhythmias in patients with coronary artery disease?
Holter ECG monitoring is a valuable tool for detecting hidden arrhythmias in patients with coronary artery disease, allowing for timely treatment adjustment.
May support Holter use for arrhythmia detection in CAD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases, is associated with high mortality in the population, and often presents atypically. At the same time, CAD often leads to arrhythmias, the timely diagnosis of which is necessary to adjust treatment and to prevent life-threatening arrhythmias. Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring should be considered as one of the main and optimal methods aimed at detecting hidden changes in the heart muscle. We present two clinical cases that demonstrate the importance of Holter ECG monitoring in this patient category.
