Do not request a Holter ECG in patients with palpitations or syncope less than once a week.

Do not request a Holter ECG in patients with palpitations or syncope less than once a week.

The reduced frequency of episodes could lead to false negatives with an unfavorable cost-benefit balance.
Do not request a Holter ECG in patients with palpitations or syncope less than once a week.

Do not request inductive ischemia testing (stress test and other inductive ischemia tests) as a routine check-up in asymptomatic patients who have undergone surgical or percutaneous revascularization within 2 years from the procedure.

There are no data to support that early diagnosis of silent ischemia improves patient outcomes or that repeat guided by ischemia testing revascularization reduces mortality.
