Differences in outcomes in patients with stable coronary artery disease managed by cardiologists versus non-cardiologists: the international prospective CLARIFY registry.

CONCLUSIONS    Outpatients with SCAD managed by cardiologists had a lower rate of cardiovascular outcomes than those managed by non-cardiologists. We did not find clear evidence that cardiologists provided superior guideline-based treatment, so the differences in outcome were most likely due to unquantifiable differences in patient characteristics.
