3 Refractory Angina: Definition of a Problem Refractory angina: a chronic condition Angina caused by coronary insufficiency in the presence of coronary artery disease which cannot be controlled by a combination of OMT+/ PCI+/ CABG Reversible myocardial ischaemia should be clinically established to be the cause of symptoms. Chronic: duration of more than 3 months Joint Study Group on the Treatment of Refractory Angina (European Society of Cardiology) Mannheimer C. et al. The problem of chronic refractory angina; report from the ESC Joint Study Group on the Treatment of Refractory Angina. Eur Heart J Mar;23(5):355-70

4 Refractory Angina: Burden REFRACTORY ANGINA CHEST PAIN SCAD Europe: 30-50,000 new case per year ~10-15% of patients undergoing C.A unsuitable for revasc. Severe diffuse atherosclerosis Lack of suitable graft conduits Comorbidities - LV function, DM, PAD, CKD Advanced age Increasing prevalence Ageing population Good prognosis in SCAD Henry TD. et al. Long-term survival in patients with refractory angina. Eur Heart J Sep;34(34): Williams B. et al.

6 Refractory Angina: Long-term Survival of Patients On the basis of 14 16% of 1.1 million angiograms performed per year in the United States, 154, ,000 patients have CAD, which is not amenable to revascularization Williams B. et al.

9 Quantification of Angina: the Rose Questionnaire Responses required to define a case in brackets 1. Have you ever had any pain or discomfort in your chest? (yes) 2. Do you get it when you walk uphill or hurry? 3. Do you get it when you walk at an ordinary pace on the level? If the answer to question Q 2 or Q 3 is yes, then proceed to Q4 4. What do you do if you get it while walking? (stop or slow down) 5. If you stand still what happens? (relieved) 6. How soon? (10 minutes or less) 7. Location? (central chest or left arm) Rose GA.

10 Refractory Angina: Clinical Features Mind Racing? Dizzy, disoriented, lightheaded? Possible sleep disturbance? Vision strange, blurry? Poor health status Feeling breathless, Limited quality of life fear, misconception Difficulty in swallowing? breathing Significant hard and disability (physical and psychological) shallow? Recurrent and sustained pain Polypharmacy Heart racing palpitations? High utilisation of healthcare resources Nausea, lack of Symptom burden often disproportionate to ischaemic appetite?
