In stable coronary artery disease, 30% to 60% of patients remain symptomatic despite successful revascularization. Perhaps not all symptoms reported by a patient with myocardial ischemia are, in fact, angina. This study sought to determine whether independent symptom verification using a placebo-controlled ischemic stimulus could distinguish which patients achieve greatest symptom relief from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Each week, we present a journal club in which we choose a study that we believe will be of interest to the interventional cardiology community and discuss it at a virtual journal club with several of our faculty members.
