Silent myocardial ischemia is a condition of reduced oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart that occurs without chest discomfort or other symptoms of ischemic heart disease, such as dyspnea, nausea, and diaphoresis. However, diagnostic studies are often abnormal. ST-segment changes may be evident on electrocardiography. Echocardiography may show regional wall motion abnormalities. Scintigraphy may reveal perfusion defects.Stable coronary artery disease is a risk factor, though patients with silent myocardial ischemia may or may not have coronary artery disease. Individuals with this condition need an aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic approach due to the increased risk of developing new coronary events compared to people with clinically detected ischemia. The presence of silent ischemia is a strong mortality predictor.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners’ competence in identifying patients with silent myocardial ischemia and managing the condition. Participants gain a deeper understanding of the nuanced diagnostic and treatment approaches to this condition, enabling them to contribute meaningfully within an interprofessional team caring for patients with silent myocardial ischemia.
