ST depression on 24-hour ECG may identify short-term MI/death risk in unstable CAD; leaves open validation and therapeutic utility.
Does the presence of ST depression on 24-hour recordings predict myocardial infarction or death in men with unstable coronary artery disease?
ST depression on 24-hour recordings before discharge provides valuable short-term prognostic information for predicting MI or death in men with unstable coronary artery disease.
