[Primary angina pectoris: significance of clinical, bicycle ergometric and coronarographic data in the prognosis of ischemic heart disease remission].

By the first year of a follow-up, spontaneous clinical remissions (no anginal and ischemic episodes as evidenced by Holter monitoring, negative bicycle ergometric tests) in 52 (26%) out of 200 patients with primary angina pectoris. Possible predictors such as clinical signs, bicycle ergometric and coronary angiographic parameters were examined. A multifactorial stepwise discriminant analysis showed that the independent predictors of the clinical remission were heart rate and exercise power attained on bicycle ergometry, number of diseased coronary artery segments with 70% of more stenoses, disease pattern in the first month, existing and prior smoking, and myocardial infarction in the first 3 months of the disease onset.
