Implication

Benign long-term prognosis for hard events but persistent symptoms common; leaves open whether targeting slow-flow improves outcomes.

Structured PICO

P
Population
88 consecutive patients with angina and angiographically normal coronary arteries (out of an initial cohort of 103)
O
Outcome
Long-term clinical course including mortality, myocardial infarction, and chest pain symptomspatient reported

Patients with angina and normal coronary arteries have a benign long-term prognosis for hard cardiac events, but frequently suffer from persistent chest pain, which correlates with angiographic slow-flow.

Limitations

  • Small sample size
