“…We measured ‘symptomatic CHD’ prevalence that may lead to an underestimation of the ‘true’ prevalence if, in Type 2 diabetic patients, ECG changes have been transient or without symptoms. However, it has been shown that a high‐risk profile for CHD is a good predictor for major coronary events regardless of the presence of silent myocardial ischaemia [18,19]. Moreover, it was recently reported that silent myocardial ischaemia is probably less relevant than previously reported [20].…”

Summary: In all 4,232 patients admitted to a single hospital during a 21-month period due to initially suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the prognosis and risk factor pattern were related to whether patients had chest pain or not. Symptoms other than chest pain that raised a suspicion of AM1 were mainly acute heart failure, arrhythmia, and loss of consciousness. In 377 patients (9%) symptoms other than chest pain raised an initial suspicion of AMI. These patients developed a confirmed infarction during the first three days in hospital with a similar frequency (22%) as compared with patients having chest pain (22%). However, patients with "other symptoms" had a one-year mortality of 28% versus 15% for chest pain patients (p< 0.001). Patients with "other symptoms" more often died in association with ventricular fibrillation and less often in association with cardiogenic shock as compared with chest pain patients. Among the 921 patients who developed early AMI, 64 (7%) had symptoms other than chest pain. They had a one-year mortality of 48% versus 27% for chest pain patients (p
