Background |
After the results of the ISCHEMIA Trial, the role of myocardial ischemia in the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) was under debate. We sought to comparatively evaluate the long-term prognosis of patients with multivessel CAD with or without documented myocardial ischemia.
Methods |
This is a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study that included patients with CAD obtained from the research protocols database of “The Medicine, Angioplasty or Surgery Study,” the MASS Study Group. Patients were stratified according to the presence or absence of myocardial ischemia. Cardiovascular events (overall mortality and myocardial infarction) were tracked from the registry entry up to a median follow-up of 8.7 years. Myocardial ischemia was assessed at baseline by a functional test with or without imaging.
Results |
From 1995 to 2018, 2015 patients with multivessel CAD were included. Of these, 1001 presented with conclusive tests at registry entry, 790 (79%) presenting with ischemia and 211 (21%) without ischemia. The median follow-up was 8.7 years (IQR 4.04 to 10.07). The primary outcome occurred in 228 (28.9%) patients with ischemia and in 64 (30.3%) patients without ischemia (plog-rank=0.60). No significant interaction was observed with the presence of myocardial ischemia and treatment strategies in the occurrence of the combined primary outcome (pinteration=0.14).
Conclusions |
In this sample, myocardial ischemia was not associated with a worse prognosis compared with no ischemia in patients with multivessel CAD. These results refer to debates about the role of myocardial ischemia in the occurrence of cardiovascular events.
