Core Tip Subtle myocardial stress after PCI is common but frequently undetected by routine ECG interpretation or selective biomarker testing. A composite ECG–HRV analytical approach has been proposed to capture small electrical and autonomic changes shortly after coronary intervention. Although early and exploratory, this strategy illustrates how more nuanced ECG analysis may complement existing tools and improve post‑PCI risk assessment once validated.
