ISCHEMIA: Prognosis is Determined by Anatomy, not Functionality

The ISCHEMIA study keeps providing scientific news. This work in patients with stable coronary artery disease had already shown (to our surprise) that ischemic burden does not predict 4-year mortality. Now, this new analysis suggests that anatomic severity can predict events. However (surprisingly, once more), altering this severity through angioplasty does not change the prognosis
