VA with asymptomatic ischaemic STD associated with higher sudden death in older men; leaves open whether combined ECG monitoring improves risk stratification.

Combined monitoring of ST-segment depression and ventricular arrhythmias on long-term ECG improves prognostic information for ischaemic heart disease in older men.
