Continuous multilead ST-monitoring identifies patients with unstable coronary artery disease who benefit from extended antithrombotic treatment.

• Prolongation of anticoagulant treatment might reduce subsequent cardiac events in patients with unstable coronary artery disease. Multilead ST-segment monitoring identifies patients with a high risk of adverse outcome. The aim was to assess the value of multilead ST-monitoring in prospectively identifying patients who respond to extended anticoagulant treatment with low-molecular weight heparin when treated by a primarily non-invasive strategy.
