[Correlation of clinical and angiographic morphology in unstable angina].

The goal of this study was to compare the clinical presentation and angiographic morphology of patients having an unstable angina pectoris. A total of 321 patients were consecutively studied and underwent cardiac catheterization, mean age 59 + 6 years. According to Braunwald classification, class III was predominant (58%) On coronary angiography, 148 patients had single vessel disease, double-vessel in 92 and triple-vessel in 64.

The most appropriate therapeutic approach still remains an unresolved problem because there are no prospective and randomized trials to definitively answer this question. Thrombolysis seems to be the more attractive alternative.
