Key result
Men whose first manifestation of coronary heart disease was angina without antecedent infarction had an identical 4.5-year overall mortality rate (17.5%) as men followed after an initial MI.

Angina as first CHD manifestation signals post-MI level mortality; supports unified risk stratification but leaves open prospective validation.
Cohort (n=110,000)
Does the prognosis of men presenting with angina without antecedent infarction differ from that of men following an initial MI?
Absolute Event Rate: 17.5% vs 17.5%
Men presenting with angina as their first manifestation of coronary heart disease have a similar 4.5-year mortality risk (17.5%) as men who have had an initial myocardial infarction.
Frank et al. (1973) conducted a cohort in Coronary heart disease (n=110,000). Angina without antecedent infarction vs. Initial myocardial infarction was evaluated on Overall mortality. Men whose first manifestation of coronary heart disease was angina without antecedent infarction had an identical 4.5-year overall mortality rate (17.5%) as men followed after an initial MI.
