Why the study?
Does Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) improve angina symptom score in patients with stable angina who are receiving little or no antianginal medication and have objective evidence of ischemia?
Does Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) improve angina symptom score in patients with stable angina who are receiving little or no antianginal medication and have objective evidence of ischemia?
PCI improves angina symptom scores compared to a placebo procedure in patients with stable angina on minimal antianginal therapy.
Supports PCI for angina relief in stable patients on minimal therapy; challenges prior low-certainty evidence against benefit.
Among patients with stable angina who were receiving little or no antianginal medication and had objective evidence of ischemia, PCI resulted in a lower angina symptom score than a placebo procedure, indicating a better health status with respect to angina.
