Today, there is a growing worldwide trend of coronary heart disease, which the most common cause death among working population. Along with development effective drugs, no less acute question improving means diagnosing as well monitoring course disease and effectiveness its treatment. Given that angina often first clinical manifestation it important to study identify early markers this patholog...

Angina pectoris is the most common clinical manifestation of myocardial ischemia and often occurs when heart needs more blood. The main goals treatment in patients with unstable angina are relief symptoms, slowing disease progression, reducing future events, especially infarction, death. This study aimed to explore literature regarding effectiveness nitrate beta-blocker drugs patients. search p...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The acute inflammatory response is an important phenomenon in the pathogenesis of myocardial damage during acute coronary syndrome. Endothelial dysfunction has been found in unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction, although the results are controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of the soluble endothelial adhesion molecules ICAM-1...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine clinical characteristics of patients with acute coronary syndromes to identify factors that influence the mode of presentation. BACKGROUND In acute coronary syndromes, presentation with myocardial infarction or unstable angina has major prognostic implications, yet clinical factors affecting the mode of presentation are not well defined. M...

There is considerable controversy about what is the most appropriate treatment for patients with unstable angina. Some workers suggest that a conservative approach is all that is necessary1; others support the early use of investigative techniques, angioplasty, and operation.2 Much of this conflict stems from difficulty with the exact definition of unstable angina. Ambulatory monitoring in pati...

Among the first 400 patients undergoing saphenous vein coronary artery bypass at Stanford Medical Center, 67 (18%) met criteria for "preinfarction angina". Angina was alleviated and possible myocardial infarction was prevented utilizing these surgical technics. The overall operative mortality rate in the preinfarction angina patients was 10.4%, which contrasted strikingly with a 1.5% operative ...

BACKGROUND Data on the contemporary mortality of coronary heart disease (CHD) are surprisingly sparse. AIM To describe the contemporary mortality of all manifestations of CHD. DESIGN Prospective follow-up of patients with a first presentation of CHD in a defined population. METHODS We studied 537 patients with a first presentation of acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina or new exe...

Unstable angina has only been recognized as a distinct entity for about 50 years. The term is used to describe a symptom complex that is neither stable angina pectoris nor acute myocardial infarction. There are a number of other terms used to describe essentially the same symptom complex; these include pre-infarction angina, crescendo angina, intermediate coronary syndrome and threatening infar...

REINFARCTION ANGINA" is a degree of coronary insufficiency intermediate in severity between chronic angina pectoris on the one hand and actual myocardial infarction on the other. The syndrome has been described in some detail during the past 20 years, with considerable emphasis on early diagnosis and efficacy of different forms of therapy because of the high percentage of patients who subsequen...

In 1991, Kounis and Zavras described the syndrome of allergic angina that can progress to allergic myocardial infarction accompanied by the clinical manifestation, laboratory and electrocardiographic findings of classic angina and myocardial infarction. This report discusses a patient who recieved amoxicillin/clavulanic acid treatment for a flu-like ilness after which he started to develop mani...
