Abstract

BACKGROUND: Guideline recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are predominantly one-size-fits-all. Clinically identifiable phenotypes needing specific considerations might exist. The purpose of this study is to identify such clinical phenotypic clusters in patients with CAD and assess their relationship with the risk of recurrent CV events.
