Onset of Angina Pectoris
نویسنده
چکیده
The circulatory adaptation to arm and leg exercise was studied with stepwise increased work loads in 10 patients with signs of coronary artery disease. Both arm and leg exercise elicited angina pectoris in all patients. Anginal pain appeared at the same level of pressure-time per minute (PTM) in the two forms of exercise, but at a smaller work load and a lower pulmonary oxygen uptake during arm exercise than during leg exercise. Heart rate, PTM, and peak systolic, systolic mean, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures all increased more steeply in relation to work load during arm exercise than during leg exercise. The differences in circulatory adaptation during arm and leg exercise are attributed in part to a lower mechanical efficiency and a higher sympathetic outflow during arm exercise. These factors may in turn reflect the involvement of smaller muscle groups and a larger component of static work with trunk muscles during arm exercise. The pattern of response to exercise resembles that seen in healthy subjects and provides a pathophysiologic background for the earlier appear-

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.
