Recognizes angina heterogeneity complicating ECG diagnosis; leaves open optimal multimodal strategies in current practice.
A historical 1931 article discussing the role of the electrocardiogram in understanding the underlying pathology of angina pectoris.
Morris H. Kahn (1931) conducted a review in Angina Pectoris. Electrocardiogram was evaluated. Angina pectoris is not a single pathological entity but a clinical manifestation of various disease processes in the heart muscle, coronary arteries, or aorta, complicating electrocardiographic diagnosis.
