Different exercise ECG lead systems were evaluated for the detection of multivessel coronary disease in 118 male survivors of a transmural myocardial infarction. Patients were classified according to the location of myocardial infarction and angina functional class and test results were correlated with angiographic findings. The ECG criteria for a positive test in any lead were horizontal or do...

Abstract Background Wellens syndrome is a clinical, biological, and electrocardiographic complex that identifies subgroup of patients with unstable angina who have an impending risk myocardial infarction death, representing equivalent ST segment elevation infarction. Methods We conducted prospective analysis 64 consecutive patients, recruited over 2 years, underwent coronary angiography we comp...

SEVERE or intractable chest pain, associated with sweating, vomiting, precipitate fall of arterial blood pressure, fever, and evidence of shock or collapse, clearly indicates a diagnosis of acute myocardial infaretion. In marked contrast is the entity of angina pectoris, with its paroxysms of chest pain after effort, typical radiation of pain into the arm, feeling of viselike constriction in th...

Objective: To determine whether men with possible angina (from their responses to the World Health Organization angina questionnaire) but a normal exercise ECG differ in long term rates of coronary heart disease events from men with no symptoms of angina. Design: During 1972–75, 2014 apparently healthy men aged 40–59 years underwent an examination programme including case history, clinical exam...

Acute coronary syndromes are brought on by a sudden occlusion of artery. Depending the severity and location obstruction, effects can range from unstable angina to non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), ST-segment (STEMI), cardiac death. Except for death, each syndrome shares similar symptoms, such as nausea, diaphoresis, discomfort in chest with or without dyspnea. Electrocar...

background and purpose: regarding usefulness of revascularization versus optimal medical therapy in patients with stable angina pectoris, data are challenging. the aim of this 12-month follow-up study was to compare the survival benefit associated with revascularization versus optimal medical therapy on the patients with stable angina pectoris. materials and methods: a prospective clinical stud...

OBJECTIVES We sought to examine completed 10-year survival and event-free survival in patients with stable and unstable angina pectoris treated by coronary balloon angioplasty. BACKGROUND Patients with unstable angina are at increased risk for recurrent acute coronary events. METHODS The study included 208 consecutive patients (133 with stable and 75 with unstable angina pectoris) undergoin...
