Ischemic heart disease is the world’s leading cause of mortality and also causes widespread morbidity and limitation of life-style. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the predominant cause of ischemic heart disease and generally results from fixed coronary artery obstruction that limits myocardial oxygen delivery relative to demand. Mortality associated with CAD is relatively high and was estimat...

BACKGROUND The extent to which angina is associated with future cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease has long been debated. METHODS AND RESULTS Included were outpatients with established coronary artery disease who were enrolled in the REACH registry and were followed for 4 years. Angina at baseline was defined as necessitating episodic or permanent antianginal treat...

BACKGROUND Chronic angina is a profoundly symptomatic disease. We evaluated the relationship between angina frequency and health utility. METHODS We used data from stable angina patients reporting ≥3 attacks/week enrolled in the Efficacy of Ranolazine in Chronic Angina (ERICA) trial. Angina frequency was classified using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire angina frequency (SAQAF) domain into no...

Background: Ludwig's angina is an infection of the submandibular cavity in form cellulitis that rapidly progressive and potentially life-threatening. Neutrophils lymphocytes play important role this process. Neutrophil-lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) a simple biomarker to evaluate systemic inflammation. We aimed determine association between NLR various prognostic parameters patients with Angina. Method...

in angina symptom status after acute myocardial infarction and its association with readmission risk: Background-—Angina is common both before and after myocardial infarction (MI). Whether the change in angina status within the first 30 days after MI is associated with subsequent readmission and angina persistence is unknown.

BACKGROUND High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) inflammatory biomarker is one of the best informative markers of prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) that has been studied. Some studies have found that hs-CRP has a direct correlation with CAD. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between serum levels of hs-CRP and the severity of coronary artery stenosis in pati...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of the fibrinolytic system in patients with unstable angina at rest associated with transient electrocardiographic changes. METHODS AND RESULTS Tissue plasminogen activator activity in plasma was comparable among patients with unstable angina (n = 17), patients with stable exertional angina (n = 10), and control patients with normal c...

441 Abstract: Cardiac troponin T (TnT) is a regulatory contractile protein not normally found in blood. Minor elevations of TnT in patients with unstable angina have been associated with an increased risk of subsequent death or Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). We used a neewly developed enzyme immunoassay for TnT to determine whether its presence in the serum of patients with unstable angina ...
