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 categories:
- 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 exercise imaging for further risk assessment.
- patients at high risk have an annual mortality rate of more than 3% and require coronary angiography
- Risk stratification is based on anatomic factors:
- 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.
- Risk stratification based on 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:
- patient's age and sex
- total cholesterol
- presence of hypertension
- history of smoking and diabetes
- presence of other peripheral vascular diseases is also used to risk stratify patients
