  • Title: Haemodynamic changes during silent myocardial ischaemia.
    Author: Levy RD, Fox KM.
    Journal: Herz; 1987 Oct; 12(5):341-7. PubMed ID: 3679067.
    Abstract:
    The haemodynamic significance of asymptomatic ST segment depression has been assessed in patients with coronary artery disease by direct measurement of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) or pulmonary artery end-diastolic pressure (PADP). Both techniques have demonstrated a rise in pressure during such episodes of ST segment depression recorded in the Coronary Care Unit, cardiac catheter and exercise laboratories or during ambulant activity. Thus silent or asymptomatic ST segment depression is associated with similar haemodynamic changes to that seen during angina pectoris and has considerable therapeutic implications.
