Drugs for angina pectoris.

Angina pectoris.

Calcium antagonist drugs in hypertensive patients with angina pectoris.

Arterial hypertension frequently occurs in association with myocardial ischaemia and is an independent and significant risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), as is left ventricular hypertrophy due to arterial hypertension. The prevalence of CAD in patients with hypertension is high, while hypertension occurs in approximately 60% of patients with CAD. Myocardial ischae...

Nonconventional therapeutic modalities in refractory angina pectoris

    Abstract   Despite sophisticated conventional medical treatment and the continued development   and improvement of coronary revascularization modalities in recent years, a significant   number of patients still suffer from refractory angina pectoris and cannot be successfully   managed. Advances in therapeutic options have led to an increase in the average of life   expectancy even in such ...

C-REACTIVE PROTEIN RESPONSE IN ANGINA PECTORIS

C-reactive protein (CRP) response was studied in 44 patients with acute angina pectoris admitted to the coronary care unit. 71 % of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI)had positive CRP test while 73% of patients presumed to have unstable angina pectoris had negative CRP test. This test can be helpful in differentiating between acute MI and unstable angina pectoris.

Neurostimulation treatment for angina pectoris.

Despite the wealth of treatments available for the management of angina pectoris, a significant proportion of patients remain refractory. These patients seem to be survivors, so that an individual with refractory angina may suVer with it for many years; consequently patients with refractory angina pectoris usually require multiple admissions, often to expensive cardiac units. Recently transmyoc...
