The correlation between spontaneous and balloon induced angina: clinical implications.
The clinical implications of variable patterns of spontaneous and balloon induced angina in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are not known. We investigated whether the angina pattern a) is reproducible in the catheterization laboratory b) is related to the patient demographics or major risk factors c) predicts the clinical outcomes.
