Abstract
The prevalence of coronary artery disease was investigated in 18 patients hospitalized
for acute diastolic heart failure without clinical and electrocardiographic evidence
of myocardial ischemia on admission. On the basis of coronary angiography, 7 patients
had coronary artery disease and 4 had ischemic heart disease. In addition, besides
uncontrolled hypertension and several systemic factors, silent myocardial ischemia
potentially contributed to acute exacerbation of heart failure for at least 5 patients
with coronary artery disease, according to either elevation in troponin I or segmental
wall motion abnormalities.
