May warrant targeted follow-up for persistent angina to normalize HRQOL; leaves open comparative benefit versus medical therapy in stable CAD.
Does coronary revascularisation improve HRQOL and angina symptoms in patients with chronic stable angina compared to community norms?
Coronary revascularization improves HRQOL to population norms in patients who become angina-free, but a significant proportion (especially women) continue to experience angina with worse HRQOL.
Brorsson et al. (2002) studied this question.
