May add prognostic value in unstable angina beyond ECG; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.
Does continuous ST segment monitoring provide additional prognostic information to clinical characteristics and admission ECG in patients with unstable angina?
Continuous ST segment monitoring detects transient myocardial ischemia, providing independent prognostic value for inhospital adverse events in unstable angina beyond admission ECG and clinical characteristics.
Patel et al. (1996) studied this question.
