Preinfarction angina pectoris

Surgery for Preinfarction Angina

Immediate relief of anginal pain is the dramatic result of aortocoronary bypass. Initially the operation was performed electively for patients with chronic angina. Subsequently indications for operation were expanded to include patients with constant pain and electrocardiographic changes of impending infarction. These patients with "preinfarction angina" undergo coronary arteriograms, frequentl...

Bypass grafting for preinfarction angina.

REINFARCTION ANGINA" is a degree of coronary insufficiency intermediate in severity between chronic angina pectoris on the one hand and actual myocardial infarction on the other. The syndrome has been described in some detail during the past 20 years, with considerable emphasis on early diagnosis and efficacy of different forms of therapy because of the high percentage of patients who subsequen...

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.
