Silent myocardial ischemia. Circulation 2003;108(10):1263-77.
However, it is important to note that the incidence of
silent myocardial ischemia secondary to coronary vasospasm is more than twice than that of symptomatic ischemia [7] as in this case where the phenomenon was detected incidentally from ECG or cardiac monitoring.
Recently, the cross-sectional study screened the performance of ABI, microalbuminuria, and harmonics of the radial pulse to stratify the risk of SCAD and severe
silent myocardial ischemia in patients with T2DM and had at least one traditional risk factor.
Armstrong, "Metaiodobenzylguanidine imaging in diabetes mellitus: assessment of cardiac sympathetic denervation and its relation to autonomic dysfunction and
silent myocardial ischemia," Journal of the American College of Cardiology, vol.
This is known as the coronary steal phenomenon.3 Circulatory insufficiency, myocardial infarction, and life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias are the most common clinical presentations during infancy.2,3 Older patients carry the risk of sudden death due to myocardial infarction, left ventricular dysfunction and mitral regurgitation, or
silent myocardial ischemia. (2-4)
Objective: To determine the frequency of positive exercise tolerance test (ETT) for
silent myocardial ischemia in asymptomatic uncomplicated type 2 diabetic patients.
AMSTERDAM -- Sixty percent of all myocardial infarctions and cardiovascular deaths in a large population of stable outpatients with coronary artery disease occurred in patients with neither anginal symptoms in daily life nor evidence of
silent myocardial ischemia.
Atypical chest pain symptoms commonly seen in women, the elderly and
silent myocardial ischemia patients are also reviewed.
SAN DIEGO -- Nearly 80% of patients with type 2 diabetes who had
silent myocardial ischemia revealed by stress myocardial perfusion imaging had a reversal of exercise-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities when they were retested 3 years later.

Silent myocardial ischemia occurs in more than 20% of asymptomatic diabetic patients.
Induction of
silent myocardial ischemia with mental stress testing: relation to the triggers of ischemia during daily life activities and to ischemic functional severity.
New research shows that people with coronary artery disease who awaken at night -- particularly those who get out of bed -- risk suffering an episode of
silent myocardial ischemia, a temporary and often painless reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle.
