Key result
Typical angina symptoms were an independent predictor of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography (OR 2.54, p < 0.001).
Why the study?
Does the presence of typical angina symptoms predict obstructive CAD in patients undergoing coronary angiography for suspected stable CAD?
Cohort (n=686)
No

Odds Ratio: 2.54
p-value: p=<0.001
Typical angina remains a strong independent predictor of obstructive CAD in contemporary patients referred for coronary angiography, highlighting the continued importance of careful symptom assessment.

Supports symptom assessment in angiography referrals; extends prior associations but leaves open effects on referral decisions.
Nakas et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Suspected stable coronary artery disease (n=686). Typical angina symptoms vs. Nonangina symptoms or asymptomatic status was evaluated on Presence of significant angiographic obstructive CAD (OR 2.54, p=<0.001). Typical angina symptoms were an independent predictor of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography (OR 2.54, p < 0.001).
