Key result
The national rate of angiography and availability of invasive facilities significantly predicted the likelihood of revascularization in patients with stable angina (OR 2.4 and 2.0, respectively).

Facility availability drives revascularization rates in stable angina; leaves open optimal strategies to reduce resource-driven variation.

The Euro Heart Survey reveals significant underutilization of guideline-directed medical therapy for new-onset stable angina and highlights that revascularization decisions are heavily influenced by local facility availability.
Daly et al. (2005) conducted an observational in new-onset stable angina (n=3,779). National rate of angiography and availability of invasive facilities was evaluated on Likelihood of revascularization (OR 2.4). The national rate of angiography and availability of invasive facilities significantly predicted the likelihood of revascularization in patients with stable angina (OR 2.4 and 2.0, respectively).
