    Citation Excerpt :

    Nonetheless, there was no relation between the use of CAG (and ensuing PCI) and the occurrence of any death, MI or debilitating stroke. This emphasises that revascularisation should be used with restraint in patients with stable angina requiring treatment; and that revascularisation is likely to be less important than lifestyle changes and optimal medical therapy in improving clinical outcome of patients with CAD, as was already suggested 14 years ago [12]. The ACTION study was carried out by an independent Steering Committee and Research Group.
