Silent myocardial ischemia in the elderly
Silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) in the elderly refers to objective evidence of myocardial ischemia without angina pectoris and related symptoms. The incidence of SMI in the elderly is higher than that in young and middle-aged people, partly due to damage to the pain alarm system caused by advanced age, myocardial infarction, diabetes and other reasons. About millions of people in the United States suffer from SMI, which leads to hundreds of thousands of myocardial infarctions and sudden coronary heart disease deaths each year. Therefore, mastering the basic knowledge of this disease is of great clinical significance.
