NMR-based plasma metabolic profiling in patients with unstable angina
Objective(s): Unstable angina (UA) is a form of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that affects more than a third of the population before age 70. Due to the limitations of diagnostic tests, appropriate identification of UA is difficult. In this study, we proceeded to investigate metabolite profiling in UA patients compared with controls to determine potential candidate...
متن کاملEffects of calcium antagonists, especially nifedipine, on variant angina, resting angina, and unstable angina.
The effects of drugs were evaluated in 47 cases with variant angina (VA), 19 with resting angina showing ST depression (RA), and 84 with unstable angina (UA). In VA patients, calcium antagonists were effective in 87.1% of the cases, while other drugs were effective in 56.3%. The difference was statistically significant. In RA patients, calcium antagonists were effective in 80.0% of the cases an...
متن کاملUnstable angina.
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...
متن کاملUnstable Angina
Identification of a characteristic morphology of a coronary stenosis likely to result in myocardial infarction would facilitate the prospective evaluation of infarct prevention strategies and identification of high-risk patients. We postulated that coronary lesions associated with recent myocardial infarction or unstable angina would have an angiographic morphology suggesting disruption of an a...
متن کاملPrognosis in unstable angina.
A retrospective study was made of 158 patients with unstable angina admitted to a coronary care unit over a 4-year period. Twenty patients (13 per cent) had myocardial infarcts while in hospital, and of these 3 died; three others died without preceding evidence of myocardial infarction. There was thus an acute mortality rate of 4 per cent. Patients with persisting angina after the first 24 hour...
