Abstract
Prevalence and prognostic significance of painful and silent ischemia detected by exercise electrocardiography (ECG) and dobutamine stress e chocardiography (DSE) were evaluated in 407 consecutive patients recov ering from acute myocardial infarction. Painful ischemia assessed by b oth tests was not associated with different clinical characteristics o f patients; on the other hand, it identified a higher risk subgroup co mpared with silent ischemia during exercise ECG but not during DSE.
