Abstract

This article presents a clinical trial on the effects of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in silent ischemia after myocardial infarction (MI). The objective of the study was to determine if PCI, compared with drug therapy, improves long-term outcome of asymptomatic patients with silent ischemia after an MI. The conclusion of the trial was that among patients with recent MI, silent myocardial ischemia verified by stress imaging, and 1-or 2-vessel coronary arteries disease, PCI compared with anti-ischemic drug therapy reduced the long-term risk of major cardiac events.
