Influence of hypertension on angiographic findings in patients with angina pectoris

Anticardiolipin and Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Iraqi Patients with Angina Pectoris

Ballistocardiographic findings in patients with symptoms of angina pectoris.

Fibrinolysis/proteolysis balance in stable angina pectoris in relation to angiographic findings.

The plasma fibrinolytic/proteolytic balance was assessed in 60 stable angina patients who underwent control coronary catheterization and the results were correlated with angiographic findings and control samples (n = 20). The concentrations of t-PA, PAI-1, collagenase (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP-1), plasmin-antiplasmin (PAP) complexes and alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2-M) were measured...

Value and level of plasma homocysteine in patients with angina pectoris undergoing coronary angiographic study.

This study tested whether the plasma level of total homocysteine (tHcy) was predictive of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and clinical outcome in patients undergoing coronary angiographic (CAG) study. From September 2002 to October 2004, 1,305 consecutive patients with angina pectoris undergoing CAG study were consecutively enrolled. Blood samples were prospectively collected to asses...

Plasma α1-antitrypsin: A Neglected Predictor of Angiographic Severity in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris

BACKGROUND As an acute phase protein, α1-antitrypsin (AAT) has been extensively studied in acute coronary syndrome, but it is unclear whether a relationship exists between AAT and stable angina pectoris (SAP). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association between AAT plasma levels and SAP. METHODS Overall, 103 SAP patients diagnosed by coronary angiography and clinical m...
