Holter-detected ischemic ST changes were associated with higher post-MI mortality; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification and requires prospective validation.
Does the presence of ischemic ST changes on Holter monitoring predict one-year mortality in high-risk postinfarction patients?
Silent ischemic ST changes on Holter monitoring are common in high-risk postinfarction patients and serve as a significant predictor of one-year mortality.
