As many as 50 patients presenting with unstable angina were examined for clinicofunctional status, using bicycle ergometry , transesophageal electrocardiostimulation and 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring during 1-yr follow-up. The results of exercise tests at enrollment into the study suggested a dramatic decrement in the patients' exercise tolerance, as to Holter, with the painless myocardial ischemia tending to be more common among them than the painful one. A follow-up study a year later showed the course of the illness to be most variable among those cases presenting with unstable angina. A correction of their management being warranted, the latter was then tailored to the individual on the basis of findings from a comprehensive evaluation of each of them at the original admission to a hospital.
