Coronary stents are wire mesh tubes inserted into cholesterol blockages in heart blood vessels (arteries) thus improving coronary blood flow and alleviating chest pain. Although life saving in acute heart attacks, their value is limited in stable patients and may be associated with severe complications. In partnership with the health department, this project will evaluate how many patients continue to experience chest pain after elective coronary stenting so that can be used more effectively.

冠状动脉支架是插入心脏血管（动脉）中胆固醇阻塞的金属丝网管，从而改善冠状动脉血流并缓解胸痛。虽然在急性心脏病发作中可以挽救生命，但它们在稳定患者中的价值有限，并且可能与严重并发症有关。与卫生部门合作，该项目将评估有多少患者在选择性冠状动脉支架植入术后继续经历胸痛，以便更有效地使用。
