Effect on survival of previous angina pectoris after acute myocardial infarction

Am J Cardiol. 1997 Jun 1;79(11):1534-8. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(97)00188-4.

Abstract

Although the present study revealed that previous angina improved in-hospital outcome, no further benefit was observed once the patients left the hospital. The worse long-term prognosis was associated with multi-vessel coronary disease in patients with previous angina.
