Overview
Reduced LV function, number and location of stenoses, workload in METs calculated using Duke score are the strongest predictors of survival in patients with chronic stable angina.
Prognosis
Mortality
- The estimated annual mortality rate in patients with chronic stable angina ranges from 0.9% - 1.4%[1][2][3] with an annual incidence of non-fatal MI between 0.5%[4] and 2.6%.[5]
- The Framingham Heart Study[6][7] revealed the 2-year incidence rates of non-fatal MI and coronary heart disease death for men and women who initially presented with stable angina was 14.3% MI and 5.5% CAD death in men, and 6.2% MI and 3.8% CAD death in women.
- Relative risk based on anginal characteristics in elderly associated with no comorbidities:[8]
| Characteristic | 1-yr Mortality Rate (%) |
| Non anginal pain | 0.4 |
| Atypical angina | 0.8 |
| Stable angina | 1.3 |
| Progressive | 1.5 |
| Unstable | 1.7 |
Factors that Affect Long Term Prognosis in Patients with Chronic Stable Angina
- Reduced LV function (reduced ejection fraction; LV hypertrophy) remains the strongest predictor of survival in patients with chronic stable angina.[8]
- Location of stenosis (proximal stenosis involving the left main and proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD), are associated with poor outcomes and increased risk of ischemic events).
- Number of stenoses (patients with three-vessel disease have a higher mortality rate in comparison to patients with single vessel disease).
| Extent of CAD | Prognostic Weight (0-100) | 5-year Mortality Rate (%) |
| (assuming medical treatment only) | ||
| 1-vessel disease, 75% | 23 | 7 |
| >1-vessel disease, 50-74% | 23 | 7 |
| 1-vessel disease, ≥ 95% | 32 | 9 |
| 2-vessel disease | 37 | 12 |
| 2-vessel disease, both ≥ 95% | 42 | 14 |
| 1-vessel disease, ≥ 95% proximal LAD | 48 | 17 |
| 2-vessel disease, ≥ 95% LAD | 48 | 17 |
| 2-vessel disease, ≥ 95% proximal LAD | 56 | 21 |
| 3-vessel disease | 56 | 21 |
| 3-vessel disease, ≥ 95% in at least 1 | 63 | 27 |
| 3-vessel disease, 75% proximal LAD | 67 | 33 |
| 3-vessel disease, ≥ 95% proximal LAD | 74 | 41 |
- Associated risk factors[9] that contribute to poor outcomes are:
Duke Score (Exercise Treadmill Test)[10]
- Workload in METs assessed using the DUKE Score is an important factor in estimating the prognosis of patients with chronic stable angina.
- Duke score = [(exercise duration in minutes) - (5 x ST segment deviation in millimeters) - (4 x treadmill angina index)]
- Angina index:
- 0 for no angina,
- 1 for angina, and
- 2 if angina is the reason for stopping the test.
| CAD risk probability (DTS) | 4-year survival | Annual mortality |
| Low probability (more than 5 DTS) | 99% | 0.25% |
| Moderate probability (-10 to 4 DTS) | 95% | 1.25% |
| High probability (less than -10 DTS) | 79% | 5% |

ESC Guidelines- Pharmacological therapy to improve prognosis in patients with stable angina (DO NOT EDIT)[11]
| Class I |
| "1. Aspirin 75 mg daily in all patients without specific contraindications (i.e. active GI bleeding, aspirin allergy, or previous aspirin intolerance). (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "2. Statin therapy for all patients with coronary artery disease. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "3. ACE-inhibitor therapy in patients with coincident indications for ACE-inhibition, such as hypertension, heart failure, LV dysfunction, prior MI with LV dysfunction, or diabetes. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "4. Oral beta-blocker therapy in patients post-MI or with heart failure. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| Class IIa |
| "1. ACE-inhibitor therapy in all patients with angina and proven coronary artery disease. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "2. Clopidogrel as an alternative antiplatelet agent in patients with stable angina who cannot take aspirin (e.g. aspirin allergic). (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "3. High dose statin therapy in high-risk (0.2% annual CV mortality) patients with proven coronary artery disease. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| Class IIa |
| "1. Fibrate therapy in patients with low HDL and high triglycerides who have diabetes or the metabolic syndrome. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "2. Fibrate or nicotinic acid as adjunctive therapy to statin in patients with low HDL and high triglycerides at high risk (0.2% annual CV mortality). (Level of Evidence: C)" |
ESC Guidelines- Revascularization to improve prognosis in patients with stable angina (DO NOT EDIT)[11]
| Class I |
| "1. CABG for significant left main CAD or its equivalent (i.e. severe stenosis of ostial/proximal segment of left descending and circumflex coronary arteries). (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "2. CABG for significant proximal stenosis of three major vessels, particularly in those patients with abnormal LV function or with early or extensive reversible ischaemia on functional testing. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "3. CABG for one- or two-vessel disease with high-grade stenosis of proximal LAD with reversible ischaemia on non-invasive testing. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "4. CABG for significant disease with impaired LV function and viability demonstrated by non-invasive testing. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| Class IIa |
| "1. CABG for one- or two-vessel CAD without significant proximal LAD stenosis in patients who have survived sudden cardiac death or sustained ventricular tachycardia. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "1. CABG for significant three-vessel disease in diabetics with reversible ischaemia on functional testing. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| "1. PCI or CABG for patients with reversible ischaemia on functional testing and evidence of frequent episodes of ischaemia during daily activities. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
