Angina Pectoris: Complications

The following are the most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by angina pectoris or coronary artery disease (CAD):

Cardiovascular System (I00-I99)

  • Acute coronary syndrome – spectrum of cardiovascular disease ranging from unstable angina (UA) to the two major forms of myocardial infarction (heart attack), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
    • Fluctuations in body weight increased the risk of myocardial infarction: in the top quintile (body weight varied by a median of 3.9 kilograms over the course of the study): +64% more likely to have new coronary events and +117% more likely to have a myocardial infarction. Note: Patients with heart failure (heart failure) were excluded.
  • Cardiac arrhythmias
  • Left ventricular failure (left heart failure)

Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48)

  • Colon carcinoma (colorectal cancer)

Psyche – Nervous System (F00-F99; G00-G99).

Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99).

  • Acute cardiac death (sudden cardiac death, PHT; approximately 50% of all deaths in CHD).
