[Results of repeated coronary angiography in patients with unstable angina pectoris in a long-term follow-up].
A total of 27 patients with unstable angina pectoris were examined in the acute period of the disease and 3.4 years later (from 30 to 51 months). A group of patients with a favorable outcome of unstable angina comprised 13 patients who had displayed no recurrences of disease exacerbation, but that of patients with an unfavorable outcome of unstable angina consisted of 14 patients who had had recurrences of symptoms of progressive angina until myocardial infarction (in 6 patients). Coronary angiography made during the first hospitalization showed that 40% of the patients exhibited a "complicated lesion" of the symptom-related artery, which further transformed to an uncomplicated one (Type I stenosis according to the classification by J. Ambrose et al.), the remaining developed coronary occlusion. Comparison of the specific features of a course of the disease and coronary angiographic findings revealed no relationship between the degree of symptom-related artery stenosis and the long-term outcome of unstable angina.
