Risk stratification in patients with unstable angina is a major clinical problem with important therapeutic implications. Antiplatelet therapy is clearly effective in reducing the occurrence of myocardial infarction and death in this syndrome. Interventions including coronary bypass surgery and coronary angioplasty are frequently recommended for these patients, but the most appropriate application of these techniques needs to be further defined. After a brief discussion of the value of medical and interventional therapies, this review focuses on the clinical and noninvasive predictors of adverse events in unstable angina. An overall management strategy for these patients, based on current information, will be proposed.

Background: Despite existing evidence of the high predictive value of natriuretic peptides (NPs) in patients with heart failure (HF), patients treated with guideline-directed therapy who have low or near-normal NP levels are unlikely to be correctly stratified for risk of clinical outcomes. The aim of this study is to detect plausible predictors for poor one-year clinical outcomes in patients with HFpEF and low NT-proBNP treated with in accordance with conventional guidelines.
Methods: A total of 337 patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who had low levels of N-terminal natriuretic pro-peptide (NT-proBNP) at discharge due to optimal guideline-based therapy were enrolled in the study.
