Angina and Cardiac Care
نویسنده
چکیده
Differences in cardiac care according to gender have now been described for 20 years. As early as 1987, Tobin et al1 reported that 40% of male patients with abnormal exercise radionuclide scans were referred for cardiac catheterization, whereas only 4% of the female patients were referred for future testing. Since then, many investigations have continued to describe a less aggressive management strategy for coronary artery disease (CAD) in women than in men in a variety of settings, but predominantly in patients with acute coronary syndromes.2–11

متن کاملPrognostic value of C-Reactive Protein in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...

متن کاملAngina on the Palm: randomized controlled pilot trial of Palm PDA software for referrals for cardiac testing.
OBJECTIVE Personal digital assistants (PDAs) are popular with physicians: in 2003, 33% of Canadian doctors reported using them in their practices. We do not know, however, whether using a PDA changes the behaviour of practising physicians. We studied the effectiveness of a PDA software application to help family physicians diagnose angina among patients with chest pain. DESIGN Prospective ran...
