Transient Giant R Wave as a Marker for Ischemia in Unstable Angina
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unstable angina is a clinical diagnosis that may present with or without electrocardiographic changes. The "giant R wave" on electrocardiogram has been reported as a manifestation of acute ischemia; however, it is a rare finding in current clinical practice. We describe a case of a patient with unstable angina and a transient "giant R wave" pattern with a culprit lesion in the right coronary artery.

Complement factors in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Unstable Angina
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most important and lethal diseases in the world. CAD represents a board spectrum of disease from silent ischemia at one end to sudden cardiac death at the other end. The middle of this spectrum consists of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina pectoris (UA). Recent data show that the inflammatory process plays a major r...
متن کاملCurrent Role of Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibition in the Therapeutic Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes in the Stent Era
The pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is characterized by disruption of atherosclerotic plaques, activation and aggregation of platelets, and formation of an arterial thrombus. Thrombus formation can result in either transient or persistent occlusion giving rise to the spectrum of ACS. This syndrome defines rapidly evolving symptoms of myocardial ischemia ranging from unstable a...
متن کاملAspirin and other antiplatelet agents in the secondary and primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Antiplatelet therapy, particularly with aspirin, has become the focus of much research in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease. In this paper, we review the evidence of efficacy; first, for patients who have a history of myocardial infarction (M1), stroke, transient cerebral ischemia (TCI), or unstable angina; second, for those actually undergoing acute myocardial infarction (...
متن کاملCollateral circulation in patients with unstable angina.
Coronary collaterals were evaluated in 218 consecutive catheterized patients with unstable angina (defined as ischemic cardiac pain at rest associated with transient electrocardiographic changes). Collaterals were present in 106 patients (49 percent). The presence of collaterals correlated with the extent and severity of the coronary artery disease but not with age, sex, or risk factors. Among ...
متن کاملCoronary hemodynamic findings during spontaneous angina in patients with variant angina.
To define more completely regional coronary hemodynamic changes that occur during spontaneous angina pectoris in patients with variant angina, we measured coronary sinus and great cardiac vein blood flow (CSF and GCVF) and aortic and left ventricular pressures before and during spontaneous angina in six patients with variant angina. During spontaneous angina, ECGs in four patients showed eviden...
