Long-term prognosis for patients with variant angina and influential factors.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Health-related quality-of-life instruments have become important measures of early health outcomes after cardiac surgery. The relationship between quality of life after recovery from surgery and subsequent long-term survival has not previously been explored. Our objective was to determine whether the Duke Ac...
