- An international study found that early invasive procedures did not help patients with stable heart disease live longer than medication and lifestyle changes alone.
- Stents or bypass surgery, combined with medical care and lifestyle changes, eased symptoms and improved quality of life but did not reduce serious heart problems.
- After nearly a decade, death rates were similar: 26% with invasive treatment and 27% with conservative treatment.
- Study co-lead Judith S. Hochman said early procedures may relieve chest pain but are unlikely to extend life.
