What is the prognosis for patients with angina identified in primary care?
A study conducted by Buckley et al. (2009) looked at the five-year prognosis of patients with angina identified in primary care, and found that mortality was highest among patients with diabetes, as compared to those without diabetes. Additionally, those with diabetes had higher rates of major non-fatal cardiac events, such as myocardial infarction and revascularization.
