Abstract

KEY POINTS Despite an explosion in the number of cardiac catheterizations being performed today, patients who rely on public assistance may have to wait for an angiogram if they are unable to pay on their own. A Texas study of patients in a state-owned hospital reports that after two weeks on a waiting list for angiography, the risk of cardiac events and hospitalization rises. When patients are placed on a waiting list, priority should be given to those who have strongly positive stress tests or who take two or three different medications for ischemic heart disease.

长时间等待血管造影增加了患者的风险。
尽管今天进行的心导管插入术数量激增,但如果无法自己支付费用,依赖公共援助的患者可能不得不等待血管造影。德克萨斯州对一家国有医院的病人进行的一项研究报告称,在等待血管造影两周后,心脏病发作和住院的风险就会上升。当病人被列入等候名单时,应该优先考虑那些有强烈阳性压力测试或服用两种或三种不同的缺血性心脏病药物的人。
