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]
- Given the variability in prognosis, it is important to risk stratify patients. Risk stratification is based on four patient characteristics:
- Left ventricular function, which is the strongest predictor of long term survival
- Extent of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries (single vessel disease vs multivessel disease)
- Evidence of a recent coronary plaque rupture (acute coronary syndrome)
- Overall health and presence of other co-morbidities.
- An initial scoring system was proposed by the Framingham Heart Study group to predict 10 year risk for patients with CAD based upon:
- 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 patients.
