Symptoms and angiographic findings of patients undergoing elective coronary angiography without prior stress testing.
Many patients undergo elective coronary angiography without preprocedural stress testing that may be suitable if performed in patients with more angina pectoris or more frequently identified obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI Registry undergoing elective coronary angiography from July 2009 to April 2013 were assessed for diff...
متن کاملMortality in Medicare patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention with or without antecedent stress testing.
BACKGROUND Guidelines advise testing for ischemia, such as with stress testing, before elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, pre-PCI stress testing is not always done; the implications of this practice are not known. Our objective was to evaluate whether receipt of stress testing before elective PCI predicts mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS Using claims data from a 20% ran...
متن کاملState and Trait Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography
Background and Objectives: Studies have shown that patients awaiting coronary angiography (CA) are often anxious. High level of anxiety can lead to physical and psychological stress with adverse effects on organs, especially heart. There is limited information on state and trait anxiety level in these patients in the literature. This study was thus designed to investigate the level of these tw...
متن کاملAssessment of patients skin dose undergoing coronary angiography and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
Background: Practice of interventional cardiology procedures such as Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has largely increased in recent years and is now changing to a matter of routine in many hospitals. The purpose of this study was to measure skin and organ doses in patients undergoing CA and PTCA and to find a probable relation with c...
متن کاملCirculating levels of adiponectin and extent of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography
Adiponectin (APN), an adipose tissue-released adipokine with demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties, is encoded by a gene whose polymorphisms are associated with presence of coronary artery disease (CAD). Serum APN levels are inversely related with presence and complexity of CAD. Within this context, we sought to compare levels of total APN and its high molecular weight ...
