The chronic ischaemic cardiovascular disease ESC Pilot Registry: Results of the six-month follow-up:

AimChronic ischaemic cardiovascular disease (CICD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The CICD Pilot Registry enrolled 2420 patients across 10 European Society of Cardiology countries prospectively to describe characteristics, management strategies and clinical outcomes in this setting. We report here the six-month outcomes.Methods and resultsFrom the overall population, 2203 patients were analysed at six months. Fifty-eight patients (2.6%) died after inclusion; 522 patients (23.7%) experienced all-cause hospitalisation or death. The rate of prescription of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers and aspirin was mildly decreased at six months (all P < 0.02). Patients who experienced all-cause hospitalisation or death were older, more often had a history of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, of chronic kidney disease, peripheral revascularisation and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than those without events. Independent predictors of all-caus...
