Therefore, this study aimed to identify the predictors of revascularization in patients with UA. Methods: The study included the recorded data of 3668 patients with UA who underwent cardiac catheterization (age 66 \u00b1 9.2, men 70%); 2615 of them (71%) underwent revascularization (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), or hybrid revascularization. The remaining 1053 patients (29%) had no significant coronary stenosis and were regarded as controls. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to separate the predictors of revascularization. Results: It was found that severe angina (OR 2.7, 95%CI 1.9\u20133.7), male gender (OR 1.4, 95%CI 1.1\u20131.7), and hyperlipidemia were the predictors of revascularization. It was also noted that intraventricular conduction disorders including left and right bundle branch blocks and a history of previous revascularization and myocardial infarction were associated with lower odds of revascularization. Conclusion: Overall, however, the predictive value of the studied factors proved to be poor and may still point to the multifactorial nature of significant coronary artery stenosis and the need for revascularization in patients with UA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13041096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,15]],"date-time":"2024-02-15T05:55:59Z","timestamp":1707976559000},"page":"1096","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Predictors of Revascularization in Patients with Unstable Angina"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5660-1268","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Budzianowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cClub 30\u201d, Polish Cardiac Society, 93-338 \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Interventional Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery, Collegium Medicum, University of Zielona G\u00f3ra, 65-046 Zielona G\u00f3ra, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Nowa S\u00f3l Multidisciplinary Hospital, 67-100 Nowa S\u00f3l, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wojciech","family":"Faron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Nowa S\u00f3l Multidisciplinary Hospital, 67-100 Nowa S\u00f3l, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janusz","family":"Rze\u017aniczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, J.
