Comparative StudyLong-term clinical outcomes in patients with unstable angina undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions in a contemporary registry data from Poland.
Both unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are still classified together in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes despite the fact they substantially differ in both clinical profile and prognosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate contemporary clinical characteristics and outcomes of unstable angina patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in comparison with stable angina and NSTEMI in Swietokrzyskie District of Poland in years 2015-2017. ⋯ Three-year prognosis in unstable angina was considerable better in comparison with NSTEMI. On the contrary, after adjustment for baseline differences, the outcomes (death, MI, MACE) in unstable angina and stable angina patients were comparable.
