The severity of atherosclerotic disease of the coronary arteries was an important predictor of survival in 224 young patients followed for 5 to 12 years.
Cohort (n=224)
Coronary atherosclerosis severity may inform prognosis in young patients; leaves open whether it should guide interventions.
The severity of the atherosclerotic disease of the coronary arteries is demonstrated to be an important predictor of survival in a group of 224 patients followed from 5 to 12 years after coronary arteriography. The group consisted of young patients (average age 41.8 years) without hypertension or congestive heart failure, who were studied during the stable phase of their disease. The current status of 218 or 97% of this group of patients is known.

Humphries et al. (1974) conducted a cohort in Ischemic Heart Disease (n=224). Severity of atherosclerotic disease of the coronary arteries was evaluated on Survival. The severity of atherosclerotic disease of the coronary arteries was an important predictor of survival in 224 young patients followed for 5 to 12 years.
