The prognostic significance of ischemic changes during daily activities was assessed in 56 patients with stable angina pectoris. All patients had positive results on the treadmill stress test and angiographic evidence of significant coronary artery disease. Forty-three (77%) had ischemic episodes on Holter monitoring during everyday activities. During the follow-up period (mean 2 years), there were 6 deaths and 6 myocardial infarctions among the 43 patients with ischemic episodes, compared with none among the 13 patients without such changes (p less than 0.03). All 14 patients referred for coronary bypass surgery belonged to the group with ischemic episodes (p less than 0.02). The extent of coronary disease, the treadmill test parameters, and the duration and frequency of ischemia during daily activities were identical in the patients with and without subsequent cardiac events. Patients with only symptomatic ischemic episodes or those with both silent and symptomatic episodes had a frequency of cardiac events similar to that of patients with only silent episodes. Thus, it seems that patients with stable angina pectoris and ischemic episodes during daily activities have a worse prognosis than patients free from such episodes.
