Risk Stratification in Unstable Coronary Artery Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Early risk assessment is essential for the application of appropriate treatment and further management in patients with unstable CAD. The early symptom-limited ET together with specific biochemical marker determination is an inexpensive, widely applicable method for early risk stratification. In women, however, the ET is considered less reliable, and there are few data on biochemical markers for risk stratification in women.

Clinical risk stratification correlates with the angiographic extent of coronary artery disease in unstable angina.
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether clinical risk stratification correlates with the angiographic extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patient with unstable angina. BACKGROUND The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) guidelines stratify patients with unstable angina according to short-term risk of myocardial infarction or death. Whether these guidelines are useful in...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis Imaging for Primary Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease
Abstract During the past decade our perception of coronary artery disease has changed significantly. It had been thought that obstructive disease in coronary vessels was the real danger, but current research has revealed that non-obstructive coronary artery disease is the real threat and responsible for the occurrence of cardiac death and myocardial infarction in the vast majority of cases. Ear...

Objective: To develop a scoring system for risk stratification and evaluation of the effect of an early invasive strategy for treatment of unstable coronary artery disease (CAD). Design: Retrospective analysis of a randomised study (FRISC II; fast revascularisation in instability in coronary disease). Setting: 58 Scandinavian hospitals. Patients: 2457 patients with unstable CAD from the FRISC I...
متن کاملNatriuretic peptides in unstable coronary artery disease.
Patients with unstable coronary artery disease (CAD), i.e., unstable angina or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, vary widely in clinical presentation, prognosis and response to treatment. To select appropriate therapy, early risk stratification has become increasingly important. This review focuses on the emerging role of natriuretic peptides in the early assessment of patients with unsta...
متن کاملPlasma lipidomic analysis of stable and unstable coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE Traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) fail to adequately distinguish patients who have atherosclerotic plaques susceptible to instability from those who have more benign forms. Using plasma lipid profiling, this study aimed to provide insight into disease pathogenesis and evaluate the potential of lipid profiles to assess risk of future plaque instability. METHO...
