Key result
Clinical characteristics including duration of angina, pain distribution, and serum cholesterol had little predictive value for the extent of obstructive coronary lesions on arteriography.
Why the study?
Do clinical characteristics predict the extent of obstructive coronary lesions on arteriography in patients with angina?
Population
588 patients with severe coronary obstruction, including a subgroup of 337 patients with angina pectoris and…

Clinical features should not predict angiographic CAD extent; leaves open need for better noninvasive markers.

Do clinical characteristics predict the extent of obstructive coronary lesions on arteriography in patients with angina?
Clinical characteristics such as angina duration and pain distribution have little predictive value for determining the extent of coronary artery obstruction on angiography.
Proudfit et al. (1968) conducted an observational in Angina pectoris and obstructive coronary arterial disease (n=588). Clinical characteristics assessment was evaluated on Distribution of coronary arterial obstructions shown by selective cine-coronary arteriography. Clinical characteristics including duration of angina, pain distribution, and serum cholesterol had little predictive value for the extent of obstructive coronary lesions on arteriography.
