Management and clinical outcome of stable coronary artery disease in Austria : Results from 5  years of the CLARIFY registry.

CONCLUSION: Characteristics of Austrian outpatients with stable CAD corresponded to those of patients with CAD in other developed countries. Medical treatments following the recommendations of the European guidelines were prescribed in the majority of patients; however, recommended goals of life style interventions including a heart rate less than 60 bpm and general risk factor management were not achieved by a high proportion of patients. Heart rate control and life style changes remain unmet needs of cardiovascular care in Austria. PMID: 28913755 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
