Of 88 consecutive patients aged 20 to 77 years with severe symptomatic aortic valve disease requiring surgery, 51 patients had angina pectoris; of these 51, 41 had predominant aortic stenosis and 10 had severe aortic regurgitation. All patients with angina pectoris underwent coronary angiography; significant coronary arterial disease was encounted in 24 per cent of those with aortic stenosis an...

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...

The mechanisms by which tissue injury after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs has not been fully elucidated. Recent evidence in experimental models has suggested involvement of the complement system in microvascular and macrovascular injury subsequent to AMI. With respect to angina pectoris, whether or not the complement system is activated is not clear. The present study assessed the ro...

Refractory angina pectoris is defined as angina refractory to optimal medical treatment and standard coronary revascularization procedures. Despite recent therapeutic advances, patients with refractory angina pectoris are not adequately treated. Spinal cord stimulation is a minimally invasive and reversible technique which utilizes electrical neuromodulation by means of an electrode implanted i...

Background: Rose questionnaire is a standard mean for diagnosing angina pectoris in epidemiological study. The present study was done to determine the prevalence of angina pectoris according to Rose questionnaire for chest pain, and to investigate the association of angina with several coronary hearh disease risk factors in Tehran urban population (district-13) during 1999 to 2000. Methods: 60...

INTRODUCTION The Danish National Patient Register (DNPR)is widely used for research and administrative purposes. However, its usability is highly dependent of the validity of the registered data. We therefore aimed to determine the positive predictive value (PPV) of angina pectoris and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the DNPR. METHODS We selected a random sample of 500 patients registered wi...

Background and aims: Angina pectoris is the discomfort felt when heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen. The definition of stable angina presence symptoms only with exertion. Chest pain, or its equivillant, a defining feature, it relieved by rest nitroglycerin exercise ceased. Often, this one first warning indications underlying coronary disease. proinflammatory state believed to aggravate...

Background: Myocardial ischemia with its clinical symptom angina pectoris is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is not the only cause for cardiac ischemia and the prevalence of obstructive CAD in patients with stable angina pectoris is still discussed. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of CAD in patients with stable angina pector...
