The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency, some characteristics and prognostic significance of silent myocardial ischemia during early exercise testing in patients after myocardial infarction. In the group of 210 patients within three months after myocardial infarction submaximal or symptom-limited exercise test were performed. Out of 210 patients 88 (42%) had ischemic response on exe...
