Although a few investigators have wondered the significance or even the life of silent myocardial ischemia, documentation awarded at this day symposium leaves little question approximately its life and value. it's been envisioned that approximately three million of the envisioned four million angina victims within the usa have common episodes of silent myocardial ischemia. even though it isn't really attainable to outline what percentage american citizens die as a result of silent ischemia, it's been instructed that the mortality expense could exceed thousands of sufferers every year. regrettably, there nonetheless continues to be an absence of definitive details as to why a few ischemic occasions are painless. a few recommend the concept the positioning and measurement of the myocardium at jeopardy pertains to discomfort, that the ache threshold varies from sufferer to sufferer or that there are neurological deficits within the myocardium of a few sufferers with silent ischemia. Abnormalities in myocardial perfusion and serve as can take place with no soreness. an attractive commentary offered through a number of investigators has been that after a coronary artery is occluded in guy, no ischemic soreness is perceived for the 1st 30 seconds. merely after a 30 moment interval or so of occlusion does angina take place. a fair extra complicated commentary is that a few 30 moment sessions of occlusion of a similar vessel within the comparable sufferer leads to angina whereas the following occlusion could be a absolutely silent event.

01) during long-term follow-up. 01) among patients who demonstrated scintigraphic evidence of residual, albeit silent, ischemia. These results indicate that quantitative TL-201 perfusion imaging is a valuable adjunct to submaximal exercise testing, as its use can identify a large group of postinfarction patients with prognostically important ischemia who otherwise would not have been detected (Figure 5). 0373 Log Rank 30 50 6'0 io MONTHS Figure s. Kaplan-Meier survival curves for patients with no ischemia (solid line) and for patients with ischemia (dotted line) by exercise TL-201 scintigraphic criteria.

First. it is necessary to relieve symptoms. Next. it is necessary to assess the risk and dangers of future adverse coronary events and institute therapy that will tend to decrease these risks and move patients from higher risk to lower risk categories. Finally. practitioners must keep a very critical eye on prospective controlled clinical studies that demonstrate that the therapies that improve the objective manifestations of disease. do in fact result in diminished morbidity and mortality. The reality is that it is not always possible to utilize all three principals in the treatment of each patient.
