Flynn CR, Orkaby AR, Valsdottir LR, et al. - Researchers analyzed patients receiving PCI for stable angina pectoris (AP) at their institution, 2016-2018, to determine whether the overall burden of cardiovascular conditions (CC) is linked with diminished symptom improvement post-PCI for stable AP. Following multivariable adjustment, including for baseline symptoms, CC burden was shown to be related to a greater improvement in AP physical limitations and depression, although small, but not with other symptom domains. An association of increasing CC burden with worse dyspnea, depression, and AP physical limitations at baseline was found in patients receiving PCI for stable AP. An increasing number of CCs was found to be related to greater improvements, though small, in AP physical limitations and depression. In the light of these findings, experts recommended not using the overall number of CCs to exclude patients from PCI for stable AP on the basis of an expectation of less symptom improvement.
