[The significance of a staged diagnostic-therapeutic program for the disease course in patients following unstable angina pectoris during a follow-up period of 3 1/2 years].
Among a group of 160 patients (146 men and 14 women) who had been admitted to our hospital under the picture of an unstable angina pectoris and whom we treated according a standardized diagnostic-therapeutic step programme 8.7% of the patients died of a cardiovascular disease during a period of 3 1/2 years. In 8% of our patients an acute myocardial infarction occurred during the period of observation. A diagnostic-therapeutic step programme was the basis for a differential therapy adapted to the individual course of the disease. We think that this therapy concept first of all corresponds to the individual dynamics of the course of the disease of patients with coronary heart disease.
