Transient ischaemia on Holter was associated with higher 30-day events in unstable angina; leaves open whether monitoring should guide therapy.
Does the presence of transient ischaemic episodes on Holter monitoring predict adverse 30-day outcomes in patients with severe unstable angina on maximal medical treatment?
In patients with severe unstable angina, the presence of transient, predominantly silent ischaemia on Holter monitoring despite medical therapy is a strong predictor of adverse cardiac events at 30 days.
