Ambulatory ST monitoring should not yet guide post-MI risk stratification; leaves open need for standardized prospective validation.
Does ambulatory ST segment monitoring provide reliable prognostic information for cardiac events in post-myocardial infarction patients?
Ambulatory ST segment monitoring may offer prognostic value early after myocardial infarction, particularly for patients unable to perform exercise stress testing, though its definitive clinical role remains unestablished.
Hans Mickley (1994) studied this question.
