Treatment of Coronary Spastic Angina, Particularly Medically Refractory Coronary Spasm
Coronary spasm plays an important role in the pathogenesis of variant angina as well as ischaemic heart diseases. Treatment with vasodilators such as long-acting calcium channel blockers and long-acting nitrates is generally effective in preventing coronary spasm; however, in some patients coronary spasm is refractory to standard therapy. Because of endothelial dysfunction, hyper-reactivity of ...
متن کاملCytochrome 2C19*17 allelic variant, platelet aggregation, bleeding events, and stent thrombosis in clopidogrel-treated patients with coronary stent placement.
BACKGROUND The cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 isoenzyme plays an important role in clopidogrel metabolization. A recently explored CYP2C19*17 allelic variant has been linked to increased transcriptional activity, resulting in extensive metabolization of CYP2C19 substrates, which may lead to an enhanced platelet response to clopidogrel treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of CYP...
متن کامل[A case of coronary vasospasm treated with stent placement].
We report about a 49 year old woman with repeated chest pain at rest. During hyperventilation significant ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V5 appeared. Bicycle stress test did not provoke any ECG changes. Coronary angiography showed a significant stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Successful balloon angioplasty followed by stent implantation was performed. After an uneven...
متن کاملSevere right coronary artery kinking treated with stent placement.
A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of chest pain on exertion. Transthoracic echocardiography was normal. Coronary angiography showed insignificant stenosis in the left coronary artery. The right coronary artery (RCA) exhibited systolic compression in the proximal portion of the vessel (Picture 1A). The next day, the patient underwent single photon emission computed tomog...
متن کاملEffect of enhanced external counterpulsation on medically refractory angina patients with erectile dysfunction.
Patients with refractory angina often suffer from erectile dysfunction. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) decreases symptoms of angina, and increases nitric oxide release. This study evaluated the effect of EECP on sexual function in men with severe angina. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) was used to assess erectile function of severe angina patients enroled in the I...
