Multiple causes for ischemia without obstructive coronary artery disease: not a short list.
A mong angina patients undergoing coronary angiography to further evaluate suspected ischemic heart disease, normal or nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is found in 30% of men and 40% to 60% of women and appears to be increasing. 1 It is becoming very clear that such patients do not have benign outcomes as documented in larger and larger prospective cohorts. 2–5 Also important are ac...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...
متن کاملWhat causes myocardial infarction in women without obstructive coronary artery disease?
Women experience higher mortality rates and more adverse outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) than men, despite less obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and plaque burden with similar plaque responses to intensive risk factor modification.1 Furthermore, nonobstructive CAD by angiography appears to be emerging as a predictor of mortality in women, but not among men.2 These puzz...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Coronary Artery Disease: Relationship of Symptom Amelioration and Ischemia Improvement
Objective(s): The current management of coronary artery disease (CAD) relies on three major therapeutic options, namely medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, severe CAD that is not indicated for PCI or CABG still bears a poor prognosis due to the lack of effective treatments. In 2006, extracorporeal cardiac shock wave (SW) the...
