Refractory Unstable Angina
Background Patients with unstable angina despite intensive medical therapy, ie, refractory angina, are at high risk for developing thrombotic complications: myocardial infarction or coronary occlusion during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Chimeric 7E3 (c7E3) Fab is an antibody fragment that blocks the platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IIIa receptor and potently inhibits plat...
متن کاملPrognostic implications of refractory angina
In the current era of widespread use of myocardial revascularization, angina has not disappeared. It is a common symptom among patients with stable coronary artery disease (affecting approximately 20% of patients) and has ominous prognostic implications in terms of subsequent risk of death and myocardial infarction. It is also associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for cardiovascu...
متن کاملA classification of unstable angina revisited.
Unstable angina is a critical phase of coronary heart disease with widely variable symptoms and prognosis. A decade ago, a classification of unstable angina based on clinical symptoms was introduced. This system was then validated by prospective clinical studies to correlate with the prognosis and was linked to angiographic and histological findings. It has been used to categorize patients in m...
متن کاملPreinfarctional (unstable) angina--a prospective study--ten year follow-up. Prognostic significance of electrocardiographic changes.
one percent (29 of 140) of the patients developed an acute myocardial infarction within eight months of the onset of the diagnosis of preinfarctional angina with an associated mortality of 41.4% (12 of 29). A combination of high-risk factors in a patient, e.g., frequent angina in the hospital, prior stable angina, and ischemic ST change during pain, identified his as a high-risk case. The high-...
متن کاملPrognostic value of C-reactive protein in unstable angina.
Unstable Angina To the Editor: We appreciate the work by Ferreirós et al in confirming the strong prognostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP) in unstable angina. However, we believe that some issues should be raised. First, the authors did not exclude patients with Braunwald type C unstable angina and they did not provide an explanation of this choice. Class C unstable angina has a strong prog...
