2000, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :In this study, DSE performed early after an acute episode of UA in medically treated patients was a better and more specific predictor of cardiac events during follow-up than exercise electrocardiography, especially when considering the incidence of MI and cardiac death. The prognosis of patients who have an acute episode of UA is very variable, with incidences of MI and death at 1 year after hospital admission ranging from 13% to 25%.12,13 Although the optimal management approach for these patients is still open to debate,14,15 risk stratification is usually recommended to identify those patients at a higher risk of further cardiac events who must undergo a more aggressive treatment.2,3
