Change From Baseline in Seattle Angina Questionnaire(SAQ) Score at Week 12
Seattle angina questionnaire (SAQ) score will be classified into five dimensions: physical limitation (question 1), anginal stability (question 2), anginal frequency (question 3-4), treatment satisfaction (question 5-8) and disease perception (question 9-11). Individual dimensions of the SAQ are transformed into the standard score between 0 and 100. The range of scores was 0 to 100, with higher scores indicates better functioning.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
