Conclusions Conclusions

PCI added to OMT was more effective in reducing ischemia and improving angina than OMT, particularly in patients with moderate-to-severe pre-Rx ischemia

Randomized trials of management strategies should evaluate quantitative measures of myocardial perfusion ischemia to guide clinical decisions regarding revascularization during long-term management
