Abstract
The clinical prognostic indices in unstable angina pectoris, particula rly recurrent rest pain, previous angina and diabetes, plus both trans ient and evolutionary T wave on the ECG during the admission period an d either a positive stress test at low workload or a positive Holter m onitor, identify a higher risk group. By the use of these noninvasive find clinical indices it is thus possible to stratify patients with un stable angina and may help in the management of this difficult conditi on.
