Ambulatory ischemia monitoring should not guide post-MI risk stratification; leaves open association with revascularization need.
Does transient myocardial ischemia on ambulatory monitoring predict adverse outcomes in men after a first acute myocardial infarction?
Ambulatory ST segment monitoring after a first myocardial infarction has limited value in predicting hard objective endpoints like cardiac death or recurrent MI, though it may identify patients likely to need future revascularization.
Mickley et al. (1995) studied this question.
