Objective.-To investigate the natural history and response to treatment of patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI).Design.-Inception cohort.Setting.-Patients in general community, primary care, or referral hospitals.Patients.-All patients with an episode of unstable exertional chest pain or chest pain at rest presumed to be ischemic in origin lasting 5 minutes or more but without persisting ST-segment elevation greater than 30 minutes or the development of Q-waves were identified and enumerated in 18 participating hospitals. A subset of enumerated patients was selected to be followed prospectively using specific sampling strategies that would provide adequate numbers of black, women, and elderly (aged greater than or equal to 75 years) patients for comparison with their respective counterparts.Main Outcome Measures.-The primary analysis compared the incidence of death or MI at 42 days after entry into the prospective study according to race, sex, and age. Other outcomes considered were recurrent ischemia and the combined outcomes of death, MI, or recurrent ischemia by 42 days after entry.Results.-A total of 8676 admissions with unstable angina or non-Q-wave MI were enumerated and, of these, 3318 patients were selected for the prospective study. The direct adjusted mean age of the 3318 patients was 63.8 years. There were 943 blacks and 2375 nonblacks. Compared with nonblacks, blacks were less likely to be treated with intensive anti-ischemic therapy for their qualifying anginal episode and less likely to undergo invasive procedures (risk ratio [RR], 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58 to 0.72; P
