  • multivariable regression

Authors' conclusion

Among patients with CCD in ISCHEMIA, health status improved more with CR compared with ICR or CON, particularly in those with frequent angina. Anatomic and functional CR provided comparable improvements in quality of life.

Study context

Population
Patients with chronic coronary disease randomised to invasive vs conservative management in ISCHEMIA1,641 invasive (INV) patients
Comparison
Complete revascularization (CR) vs incomplete revascularization (ICR) vs conservative (CON)
Primary endpoint
Angina-related health status (Seattle Angina Questionnaire)
Follow-up
12 months

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Angina-related health status

Anatomic CR achieved in INV patients

43.3%

Functional CR achieved in INV patients

57.8%

Further findings

Projected benefit of CR by baseline angina (subgroup)

Most pronounced with baseline daily/weekly angina; not seen with no angina
