Study Limitations • Selected sample – not identical to main trial - representing 14% of total COURAGE population • Observations pertain to a nonrandomized comparison • The follow-up MPS was performed at 618 m and, thus, we cannot exclude the possibility of a delayed response to medical rx • Prognostic analyses are statistically underpowered but were generated for

Conclusions • PCI added to OMT was more effective in reducing ischemia and improving angina than OMT, particularly in patients with moderate-tosevere pre-rx ischemia • Exploratory outcomes data: – Ischemia reduction ≥ 5% associated with lower risk of death/MI – Residual ischemia ≥ 5% associated with higher risk of death/MI • Randomized trials of management strategies should evaluate quantitative measures of
