Özet

Objective Cardiologists'approach to angina in outpatients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is unclear. Therefore, we analysed data from the national multicentre, observational PULSE study to evaluate the frequency of angina, clinical variables affecting angina frequency and the impact of frequent angina on quality of life (QoL) in outpatients with stable CAD managed by cardiologists in secondary and tertiary health-care centres in Turkey.
