Ischemic heart disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world as well as in our country. Ischemic heart disease has the multifactorial origin and the presence of several risk factors increases the risk of myocardial ischemia. The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency and characteristics of myocardial ischemia in asymptomatic subjects with two or more risk factors for coronary artery disease during stress echocardiography.
