An initial scoring system was proposed by the Framingham Heart Study group to predict 10 year risk for patients with [[CAD]] based upon the patient's age, sex, total [[cholesterol]], presence of [[hypertension]] and history of [[smoking]] and [[diabetes]]. The presence of other peripheral vascular diseases is also used to risk stratify patients.

===ECG===
*[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification electrocardiogram/chest x-ray|Electrocardiogram / Chest X-Ray]]
 
*[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification rest left ventricular function|Assessment of Resting LV Function]]
The presence of [[ECG]] abnormalities at rest puts the patient at higher risk than the absence of ECG abnormalities at rest.  [[ECG]] abnormalities at rest may include left ventricular hypertrophy ([[LVH]]) by ECG criteria, persistent ST-T wave inversions in V1-V3, Q waves in multiple leads or an R wave in V1 (a "posterior" q wave), [[bundle branch block]]s and atrial or ventricular [[arrythmias]].
*Exercise testing for Risk Stratification and Prognosis:  
 
::*[[Chronic stable angina  risk stratification exercise testing|In Patients With an Intermediate or High Probability of CAD]]
===Chest X-ray===
::*[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification cardiac stress imaging in patients who are able to exercise|In patients Who Are Able To Exercise]]
The presence of [[cardiomegaly]] or pulmonary vascular congestion on chest X-ray is also associated with a poor prognosis.
::*[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification cardiac stress imaging in patients who are unable to exercise|In patients Who Are Unable To Exercise]]
 
::*[[Chronic stable angina risk stratification coronary angiography|By Coronary Angiography and Left Ventriculography]]
===Left Ventricular Function===
The indications for assessing LV function are not limited to patients with evidence of [[congestive heart failure]] or valvular dysfunction, but also includes patients with documented [[MI]] or an [[ECG]] showing Q waves(suggestive of an old MI). A resting or exercise LV ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 35% is associated with a significantly higher mortality than a normal LVEF.  In patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease, the presence of an ejection fraction of less than 50% or clinical evidence of [[heart failure]] is associated with almost three times higher mortality than that in patients with normal left ventricular function and a similar extent of CAD.<ref>{{cite book |last= Braunwald |first= Eugene. |coauthors= Lee Goldman|title= [[Primary Cardiology]]|chapter=25 |publisher= [[Saunders]] |year= 2003|month= April|isbn= 0-7216-9444-6}}</ref>
 
[[Echocardiography]] is the best initial tool for obtaining an estimate of left ventricular function, both systolic and diastolic. In addition, echocardiography also provides information regarding associated valvular dysfunction and [[pulmonary artery pressure]]s. This information can in turn be used to select or modify the treatment regimen for the patient.

Overview

  • The average mortality in patients with stable angina ranges from 1-3%. However, the prognosis varies widely depending on various factors such as the duration and severity of symptoms, resting ECG abnormalities, abnormal left ventricular function and associated comorbidities.[1]
  • Given the variability in prognosis, it is important to risk stratify patients. Risk stratification is based on four patient characteristics:
  1. Left ventricular function, which is the strongest predictor of long term survival
  2. Extent of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries (single vessel disease vs multivessel disease)
  3. Evidence of a recent coronary plaque rupture (acute coronary syndrome)
  4. Overall health and presence of other co-morbidities.
  • An initial scoring system was proposed by the Framingham Heart Study group to predict 10 year risk for patients with CAD based upon:
