Coronary artery disease PTCA: patients who kept smoking were more likely to have an MI or die. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date June 2003 Coronary artery disease age and symptoms increased the risk. Level of evidence 2a Expiry Date July 2003 Coronary heart disease treadmill exercise score helps to predict four year survival. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date July 2003 Coronary heart disease decreased physical activity increased the risk of CHD death. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Coronary heart disease several clinical factors increased in-hospital mortality after angioplasty. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date March 2003 Coronary heart disease a simplified predictive index helped predict complications. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date March 2003 Unstable angina raised troponin T levels indicated a worse prognosis. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date July 2003 Unstable angina lesion shape on angiography did not clearly predict outcome. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date June 2003 Unstable angina determining patient's risk helps to predict need for intensive care. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date January 2003 Unstable angina a raised troponin T within 48 hours indicates a worse prognosis. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date July 2003 Unstable angina certain clinical features predicted a worse outcome. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date July 2003 Unstable angina ischaemia on resting ECG indicated a worse outcome. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date July 2003 Unstable angina patients with new rest pain or pain lasting a long time had a worse outcome. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date July 2003 Unstable angina previous beta-blockers and transient myocardial ischaemia increased the risk of an adverse outcome. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date June 2003 Unstable angina, non-Q wave MI troponin I did not predict mortality. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date June 2003 Unstable angina or MI raised troponinT levels increased the risk of death. Level of evidence 2b Expiry Date June 2003
