Overview
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.[1]
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.[2]
