SCIENTIFIC LETTER Positive correlation between coronary arterial remodelling and prodromal angina in acute myocardial infarction
R ecently, the relation between coronary arterial remodelling and ischaemic coronary disease has become a focus of investigation. Positive coronary arterial remodelling has been shown to be more frequent in acute coronary syndromes, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), whereas negative remodelling has been shown to be more frequent in stable angina. However, in the case of AMI, precedin...
متن کاملComplement factors in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Unstable Angina
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most important and lethal diseases in the world. CAD represents a board spectrum of disease from silent ischemia at one end to sudden cardiac death at the other end. The middle of this spectrum consists of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina pectoris (UA). Recent data show that the inflammatory process plays a major r...
متن کاملComparison of serum parathyroid hormone level between patients with acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and normal coronary function
Background: Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the most common causes of mortalities worldwide. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an important role in the pathogenesis of CVDs. The aim of the current study was to compare serum PTH levels between patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, and normal coronary function. Methods: This descriptive and analytic stud...
متن کاملProdromal angina is associated with myocardial salvage in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
AIMS Previous studies have shown that prodromal angina (PA) occurs frequently in acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients. However, the potential benefits of PA on ischaemic myocardial damage remain unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS One-hundred and fifty-four patients with acute ST-segment elevation MI successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) were prospectively ...
متن کاملAcute coronary thromboembolization in unstable angina without subsequent myocardial infarction.
A 58 year old man underwent coronary arteriography for unstable angina. During the catheterization, distal embolization of a nonoccluding intracoronary thrombus formed at the site of a subtotal atherosclerotic occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and was documented angiographically. This event, which appears unique, was not associated with subsequent myocardial infarction o...
