Risk of adverse outcome in patients admitted to the coronary care unit with suspected unstable angina pectoris.

摘要: One hundred ninety-six consecutive patients admitted to the coronary care unit with suspected unstable angina were classified clinically as having either definite (113 patients) or (83 within 24 hours of admission. Patients followed prospectively determine their outcome in hospital and first 4 months after discharge. Three had a non-fatal myocardial infarction 2 died (1 fatal infarction, 1 death immediately bypass surgery). During follow-up (mean 4.2 +/- 2.3 months), 6 additional nonfatal 22 readmitted angina. The incidence was significantly lower during both primary admission (0 83 vs 5 113, p less than 0.05) discharge from 9 0.05), fewer recurrence 21 0.001). Thus, simple clinical classification into performed identified substantial group low short-term risk adverse events.
