±, Angina pectoris, dyspnea
Angina pectoris symptom burden was evaluated using the SAQ subscales. At baseline, patients with concomitant dyspnea had a worse physical limitation score (49.5 ± 21.0 vs 58.9 ± 22.0, Differences in angina symptoms and quality of life in patients presenting with and without dyspnea. PCI led to a marked relief in symptomatic burden. Patients who presented with concomitant dyspnea had significant less improvement. Presented are mean (± 95% confidence interval) values for SAQ subscales at baseline and 6 months after PCI for patients presenting with (red) and without (gray) dyspnea. p-values are two-sided Student’s
