Patients could have multiple events.
†
If patients had multiple first events on the same day, the initial events were ordered in the following way: confirmed angina, acute myocardial infarction, and the need for revascularization.
‡
This category includes six patients who had angina as an antecedent event, one originally assigned to intensive treatment and five originally assigned to conventional treatment.
