Abstract
Transient myocardial ischemia may occur during exercise testing in some patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) despite the absence of chest pain. A 20 to 40% incidence of asymptomatic ischemic episodes has been reported to occur during exercise testing in postinfarction patients and in patients with angina pectoris (1).
