Overview

Patient follow-up is essential in monitoring symptoms and optimizing antianginal therapy. There are no specific guidelines on the frequency of follow-up but general recommendation is to follow up every 4-6 months during first year of therapy and then annually. Follow-ups may be scheduled early depending on patient symptoms response. Patient should be asked about their frequency and severity of symptoms, level of exercise capacity, whether patient has been able to modify his/her risk factors, how well is the patient tolerating the therapy and whether he/she has developed new illnesses or co-morbidities. Guidelines for imaging during follow-up visit are listed below.

ACC / AHA Guidelines- Echocardiography, Treadmill Exercise Testing, Stress Imaging Studies, and Coronary Angiography During Patient Follow-Up (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I

1. Chest x-ray for patients with evidence of new or worsening congestive heart failure. (Level of Evidence: C)

2. Assessment of LV ejection fraction and segmental wall motion in patients with new or worsening congestive heart failure or evidence of intervening MI by history or ECG. (Level of Evidence: C)

3. Echocardiography for evidence of new or worsening valvular heart disease. (Level of Evidence: C)

4. Treadmill exercise test for patients without prior revascularization who have a significant change in clinical status, are able to exercise, and do not have any of the ECG abnormalities listed below in number 5. (Level of Evidence: C)

5. Stress imaging procedures for patients without prior revascularization who have a significant change in clinical status and are unable to exercise or have 1 of the following ECG abnormalities:

a. Preexcitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White) syndrome. (Level of Evidence: C)
b. Electronically paced ventricular rhythm. (Level of Evidence: C)
c. More than 1 mm of rest ST depression. (Level of Evidence: C)
d. Complete left bundle-branch block. (Level of Evidence: C)

6. Stress imaging procedures for patients who have a significant change in clinical status and required a stress imaging procedure on their initial evaluation because of equivocal or intermediate-risk treadmill results. (Level of Evidence: C)

7. Stress imaging procedures for patients with prior revascularization who have a significant change in clinical status. (Level of Evidence: C)

8. Coronary angiography in patients with marked limitation of ordinary activity (CCS class III) despite maximal medical therapy. (Level of Evidence: C)

Class IIb

1. Annual treadmill exercise testing in patients who have no change in clinical status, can exercise, have none of the ECG abnormalities listed in number 5 above, and have an estimated annual mortality of >1%. (Level of Evidence: C)

Class III

1. Echocardiography or radionuclide imaging for assessment of LV ejection fraction and segmental wall motion in patients with a normal ECG, no history of MI, and no evidence of congestive heart failure. (Level of Evidence: C)

2. Repeat treadmill exercise testing in <3 years in patients who have no change in clinical status and an estimated annual mortality <1% on their initial evaluation as demonstrated by 1 of the following:

a. Low-risk Duke treadmill score (without imaging). (Level of Evidence: C)
b. Low-risk Duke treadmill score with negative imaging. (Level of Evidence: C)
c. Normal LV function and a normal coronary angiogram. (Level of Evidence: C)
d. Normal LV function and insignificant CAD. (Level of Evidence: C)

3. Stress imaging procedures for patients who have no change in clinical status and a normal rest ECG, are not taking digoxin, are able to exercise, and did not require a stress imaging procedure on their initial evaluation because of equivocal or intermediate-risk treadmill results. (Level of Evidence: C)

4. Repeat coronary angiography in patients with no change in clinical status, no change on repeat exercise testing or stress imaging, and insignificant CAD on initial evaluation. (Level of Evidence: C)
