| The annual mortality in patients with stable angina with documented [[coronary artery disease]] ranges from 1% to 4%. 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.<ref>Predicting prognosis in stable angina--results from the Euro heart survey of stable angina: prospective observational study.

| Impairment of left ventricular systolic function is associated with a poorer long term prognosis among patients with chronic stable angina. In patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease, the presence of an ejection fraction of less than 50% or clinical evidence of [[heart failure]] is associated with almost three times higher mortality than that in patients with normal left ventricular function and a similar extent of CAD.<ref>{{cite book |last= Braunwald |first= Eugene. |coauthors= Lee Goldman|title= [[Primary Cardiology]]|chapter=25 |publisher= [[Saunders]] |year= 2003|month= April|isbn= 0-7216-9444-6}}</ref>
