Stent Implantation in a Case of Myocardial Bridging with Resistant Angina Pectoris.

Angina pectoris in patients with a history of myocardial infarction.

The existence of a history of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with angina pectoris is frequently associated with certain patient characteristics, including an established history of coronary artery disease (CAD), depressed left ventricular function in some patients and multivessel coronary disease. Angina is a symptom which reveals the persistence or recurrence of myocardial ischaemia. I...

Aspiration Thrombectomy and Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation Decrease the Occurrence of Angina Pectoris One Year After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Angina pectoris is a treatable symptom that is associated with mortality and decreased quality of life. Angina eradication is a primary care goal of care after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Our aim was to evaluate factors influencing angina pectoris 1 year after an AMI.From January 2005 to December 2013, 1547 patient received primary percutaneous intervention in our hospital for an acut...

Anticardiolipin and Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Iraqi Patients with Angina Pectoris

Nonconventional therapeutic modalities in refractory angina pectoris

    Abstract   Despite sophisticated conventional medical treatment and the continued development   and improvement of coronary revascularization modalities in recent years, a significant   number of patients still suffer from refractory angina pectoris and cannot be successfully   managed. Advances in therapeutic options have led to an increase in the average of life   expectancy even in such ...

C-REACTIVE PROTEIN RESPONSE IN ANGINA PECTORIS

C-reactive protein (CRP) response was studied in 44 patients with acute angina pectoris admitted to the coronary care unit. 71 % of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI)had positive CRP test while 73% of patients presumed to have unstable angina pectoris had negative CRP test. This test can be helpful in differentiating between acute MI and unstable angina pectoris.
