==Overview==
The average [[mortality]] in patients with stable angina ranges from 1-3%. However, the [[prognosis]] varies widely depending on various factors such as: the duration and severity of [[symptom]]s, [[Chronic stable angina risk stratification electrocardiogram/chest x-ray|resting ECG abnormalities]], [[Chronic stable angina risk stratification based upon rest left ventricular function|abnormal left ventricular function]] and associated [[comorbidity|comorbidities]].<ref name="pmid16415069">Daly CA, De Stavola B, Sendon JL, Tavazzi L, Boersma E, Clemens F et al.

The average mortality in patients with stable angina ranges from '''1-3%.'''However, there is a wide variability in the prognosis and
==Risk Stratification==
hence it is important to risk stratify every patient. Risk stratification is based on 4 types of patient characteristics. 
===Risk Stratification Based on Different Factors===
* Left ventricular function, which is the strongest predictor of long term survival
====Anatomic Factors====
* Extent of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries
*[[Left ventricular function]], indicated as the strongest predictor of long term survival
* Evidence of a recent coronary plaque rupture
*Extent of [[atherosclerosis]] in the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]] (single vessel disease vs [[multivessel coronary artery disease|multivessel disease]])
* Overall health and presence of other co-morbidities.
*Evidence of a recent [[coronary artery|coronary]] [[plaque rupture]] ([[acute coronary syndrome]])
*Overall health and presence of other [[comorbidity|co-morbidities]]


An initial scoring system was proposed by the Framingham Heart Study group to predict 10 year risk for [[CAD]] based on patient's age, sex, total cholesterol, presence of hypertension and history of smoking and diabetes. Presence of other peripheral vascular diseases is also used to risk stratify the patients.
====Clinical Factors====
An initial scoring system was proposed by the Framingham Heart Study group to predict 10 year risk for patients with CAD based upon:
==Risk Stratification of Chronic Stable Angina==
*Patient's age and sex  
*Total [[cholesterol]]
*Presence of [[hypertension]]
*History of [[smoking]] and [[diabetes]]
*Presence of other [[peripheral vascular diseases]]


===ECG/Chest X-ray in asymptomatic patients===
For a full discussion on individual risk stratifying topics, visit the microchapters below:


Presence of [[ECG]] abnormalities at rest puts the patient at higher risk than those with normal resting [[ECG]]. [[ECG]] abnormalities may be present in the form of LVH by ECG criteria, persistent ST-T wave inversions in V1-V3, Q waves in multiple leads or R wave in V1, bundle branch blocks and atrial or ventricular arrythmias.
*'''[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification electrocardiogram/chest x-ray|Electrocardiogram/chest X-ray]]'''
Presence of cardiomegaly or pulmonary vascular congestion on Ches X-ray are also associated with poor prognosis.
*'''[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification rest left ventricular function|Assessment of resting LV function]]'''
*'''[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification coronary angiography|Coronary angiography and left ventriculography]]'''


===Importance of assessing Left Ventricular function===
*Exercise testing for Risk Stratification and Prognosis:
:*'''[[Chronic stable angina risk assessment in patients with an intermediate or high probability of coronary artery disease|Exercise treadmill test]]'''
:*'''[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification cardiac stress imaging in patients who are able to exercise|In patients who are able to exercise]]'''
:*'''[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification cardiac stress imaging in patients who are unable to exercise|In patients who are unable to exercise]]'''


Indications for assessing LV function are not only limited to patients with evidence of heart failure or valvular dysfunction but also includes patients with documented [[MI]] or [[ECG]] showing Q waves(suggestive of old MI). A resting or exercise LV ejection fraction of less than 35% is associated with significant higher mortality than a normal EF. [[Echocardiography]] is the best initial tool for obtaining an estimate of the LV function, both systolic and diastolic. In addition to this, it will also provide information about associated valvular dysfunction and pulmonary artery pressures. This information can in turn be used to select or modify the treatment regimen for the patient.
===Risk Stratification Categories and Appropriate Management===
*Patients at low risk have an annual [[mortality rate]] of less than 1% and can be managed medically.
*Patients at intermediate risk have an annual [[mortality rate]] of 1%–3% and may require additional imaging studies such as [[Chronic stable angina risk stratification cardiac stress imaging in patients who are able to exercise|exercise imaging]] for further risk assessment.
*Patients at high risk have an annual [[mortality rate]] of more than 3% and require [[Chronic stable angina risk stratification coronary angiography|coronary angiography]].

The next step after establishing the clinical probability of [[angina]] is to assess the risk of underlying [[coronary artery disease]] based on initial [[Chronic stable angina risk stratification electrocardiogram/chest x-ray|rest ECG]] and the patients ability to [[Chronic stable angina risk assessment in patients with an intermediate or high probability of coronary artery disease|exercise]].

Overview

The average mortality in patients with stable angina ranges from 1-3%. However, the prognosis varies widely depending on various factors such as: the duration and severity of symptoms, resting ECG abnormalities, abnormal left ventricular function and associated comorbidities.[1]

Risk Stratification

Risk Stratification Based on Different Factors

Anatomic Factors

Clinical Factors

An initial scoring system was proposed by the Framingham Heart Study group to predict 10 year risk for patients with CAD based upon:

Risk Stratification of Chronic Stable Angina in Symptomatic Patients

The next step after establishing the clinical probability of angina is to assess the risk of underlying coronary artery disease based on initial rest ECG and the patients ability to exercise.

ACC/AATS/AHA/ASE/ASNC/SCAI/SCCT/ STS 2017 Appropriate Use Criteria for Coronary Revascularization in Patients With Stable Ischemic Heart Disease

Noninvasive Risk Stratification
High risk (>3% annual death or MI)

1. Severe resting LV dysfunction (LVEF <35%) not readily explained by noncoronary causes

2. Resting perfusion abnormalities ≥10% of the myocardium in patients without prior history or evidence of MI

3. Stress ECG findings including ≥2 mm of ST-segment depression at low workload or persisting into recovery, exercise-induced ST-segment elevation, or exercise-induced VT/VF

4. Severe stress-induced LV dysfunction (peak exercise LVEF <45% or drop in LVEF with stress ≥10%)

5. Stress-induced perfusion abnormalities encumbering ≥10% myocardium or stress segmental scores indicating multiple vascular territories with abnormalities

6. Stress-induced LV dilation

7. Inducible wall motion abnormality (involving >2 segments or 2 coronary beds)

8. Wall motion abnormality developing at low dose of dobutamine (≤ 10 mg/kg/min) or at a low heart rate (<120 beats/min)

9. CAC score >400 Agatston units

10. Multivessel obstructive CAD (≥70% stenosis) or left main stenosis (≥50% stenosis) on CCTA

Intermediate risk (1% to 3% annual death or MI)

1. Mild/moderate resting LV dysfunction (LVEF 35% to 49%) not readily explained by noncoronary causes

2. Resting perfusion abnormalities in 5% to 9.9% of the myocardium in patients without a history or prior evidence of MI

3. ≥1 mm of ST-segment depression occurring with exertional symptoms

4. Stress-induced perfusion abnormalities encumbering 5% to 9.9% of the myocardium or stress segmental scores (in multiple segments) indicating 1 vascular territory with abnormalities but without LV dilation

5. Small wall motion abnormality involving 1 to 2 segments and only 1 coronary bed

6. CAC score 100 to 399 Agatston units

7. One vessel CAD with ≥70% stenosis or moderate CAD stenosis (50% to 69% stenosis) in ≥2 arteries on CCTA

Low risk (<1% annual death or MI)

1. Low-risk treadmill score (score ≥5) or no new ST segment changes or exercise-induced chest pain symptoms; when achieving maximal levels of exercise

2. Normal or small myocardial perfusion defect at rest or with stress encumbering <5% of the myocardium*

3. Normal stress or no change of limited resting wall motion abnormalities during stress

4. CAC score <100 Agaston units 5. No coronary stenosis >50% on CCTA

CAC indicates coronary artery calcium; CAD, coronary artery disease; CCTA, coronary computed tomography angiography; LV, left ventricular; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; and MI, myocardial infarction.
