This book presents the papers given at the International Symposium on Silent Myocardial Ischemia held on 27 and 28 May 1983 in Geneva, Switzerland. The symposium was held under the auspices of the European Society of Car- diology, and the scientific committee was recruited from members of the working groups on angina pectoris and coronary blood flow and on myocar- dial function. The editors want to express many thanks to all those who contributed to the success of the symposium. W. Rutishauser H. Roskamm v List of Contributors R.
