Cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease with and without myocardial ischemia: Long-term follow-up

Am Heart JPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In this sample, myocardial ischemia was not associated with a worse prognosis compared with no ischemia in patients with multivessel CAD.
