Key result
Advancing age in non-diabetic men with coronary artery disease was associated with a longer anginal perceptual threshold, showing a 50-second difference between the upper and lower age quartiles.

Does advancing age affect the anginal perceptual threshold in non-diabetic men with symptomatic coronary artery disease?
Effect estimate: 50 seconds difference
In non-diabetic men with coronary artery disease, the perception of angina tends to deteriorate with advancing age, a finding not solely attributable to alterations in blood pressure or autonomic function.
Umachandran et al. (1991) conducted an observational in symptomatic coronary artery disease (n=82). Advancing age vs. Younger age was evaluated on Anginal perceptual threshold (50 seconds difference). Advancing age in non-diabetic men with coronary artery disease was associated with a longer anginal perceptual threshold, showing a 50-second difference between the upper and lower age quartiles.
