Determinants of prognosis in unstable angina.
The clinical prognostic indices in unstable angina pectoris, particularly recurrent rest pain, previous angina and diabetes, plus both transient and evolutionary T wave on the ECG during the admission period and either a positive stress test at low workload or a positive Holter monitor, identify a higher risk group. By the use of these noninvasive and clinical indices it is thus possible to stratify patients with unstable angina and may help in the management of this difficult condition.
