| Summary: | Objective: Present paper describes trends in prevalence and control of cardiovascular risk factors and clinical outcomes at 5-years for CLARIFY Indian cohort compared with rest of the world (ROW). Method: CLARIFY is an international, prospective-observational, longitudinal cohort study in stable coronary artery disease outpatients. The 5-year data of both cohorts were compared, and evaluated. Results: In Indian cohort, the angina prevalence declined significantly. There are few favorable changes in the pattern of receiving guideline-recommended therapy over 5 years, and the Indian cohort exhibited significantly lower adverse clinical outcomes than ROW. Conclusion: The 5-year trend of CLARIFY India registry indicate varying trends in prevalence and control of cardiovascular risk factors, the need for approaches to improve control of all modifiable risk factors, and increase in long-term use of essential primary and secondary prevention medications in clinical practice as emphasized in the latest Indian guidelines for management of stable CAD.
