[Evaluation of 10 patients with stable stress angina using an ergometric test and Holter's dynamic ECG monitoring]. / Valutazione di 10 pazienti con angina stabile da sforzo mediante test ergometrico e monitoraggio con ECG dinamico secondo Holter.

10 male patients with stable angina of effort were studied via bicycle ergometer test and Holter's dynamic ECG. Effort produced asymptomatic ischaemia which were well tolerated and statistically much shorter and less intense than symptomatic attacks in the same patients. The primary qualification for admission to the survey was the presence of stable angina of effort verified by two ergometric tests revealing a stable ischaemic threshold. No predictive figure for asymptomatic ischaemic attacks was found in subjects with a latency period between the appearance of the ischaemia signal and onset of increased angor. It is therefore concluded that Holter ECG test must be added to ergometry for a correct evaluation of subjects with stable angina of effort.
