Key result
Social isolation in outpatients with stable coronary heart disease was associated with a higher age-adjusted annual mortality rate compared to nonisolated patients (6.3% vs 4.1%; HR 1.61; p<.001).

May warrant assessing social isolation in stable CHD risk stratification; leaves open whether interventions improve survival.
Kreibig et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in stable coronary heart disease (n=1,019). Social isolation vs. Nonisolated patients was evaluated on Mortality (HR 1.61, 95% CI 1.26-2.05, p=<.001). Social isolation in outpatients with stable coronary heart disease was associated with a higher age-adjusted annual mortality rate compared to nonisolated patients (6.3% vs 4.1%; HR 1.61; p<.001).
