Graded exercise stress tests in angiographically documented coronary artery disease.
Graded exercise stress tests performed on 650 consecutive patients with proven or suspected coronary disease undergoing evaluation by cardiac catheterization were correlated with clinical, hemodynamic, and angiographic findings. Among 451 patients with significant coronary stenosis, 332 (74%) had interpretable stress tests and 65% of these were positive (sensitivity). The rate of "false positiv...
متن کاملImpaired Fibrinolysis in Angiographically Documented Coronary Artery Disease
Impaired fibrinolysis may predispose to coronary artery disease (CAD). Hypofibrinolysis due to high levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been reported in CAD. A novel regulator of fibrinolytic activity, thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), has attracted attention in recent years. It acts by blocking the formation of a ternary complex of plasminogen, fibrin, and...
متن کاملIncreased sensitivity of prolonged P-wave during exercise stress test in detection of angiographically documented coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND A retrospective study was designed to investigate P-wave duration changes in exercise stress test (EST) for the prediction of angiographically documented substantial coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS We analyzed 265 cases of patients, who underwent EST and subsequently coronary angiography. Analysis of P-wave duration was performed in leads II, V5 at rest, and in the recovery ...
متن کاملInflammatory markers in men with angiographically documented coronary heart disease.
BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests that atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process. In this study, we examined several markers of inflammation in men with coronary heart disease (CHD) and appropriate controls. METHODS The concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule (sICAM-1) were examined in 100 m...
متن کاملPrevalence and pattern of lipid disorders in Saudi patients with angiographically documented coronary artery disease
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and patterns of dyslipidemia in Saudi patients with angiographically documented coronary artery disease (CAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a cross-sectional, hospital-based study, which was conducted on all Saudi patients who underwent coronary angiography under the author's personal care and were found to have > 50% coronary steno...
