Class differences in calcium-channel blockers in vasospastic angina.
نویسنده
چکیده
oronary artery spasm is an important mechanism in ischemic heart disease. Vasospastic angina (VSA) is not uncommon in Far-east Asia, including Japan and Korea, than in Western countries, for genetic as well as environmental reasons.1–5 However, it has been given little attention by many cardiologists and there are still many controversies about both the methodology of the pharmacological provocation test for coronary spasm and the treatment strategy for VSA.

The role of calcium channel blockers in wound healing
Wound healing is a natural response to restore the injured tissue to normal. Wound healing is also complicated process involving different cellular, molecular and biochemical mechanisms and various types of cytokines and growth factors. Calcium channel blockers belong to cardiovascular medicine and administrated to treatment of hypertension, angina and cardiac arrhythmia because of vasodilatory...
متن کاملCalcium channel blockers cannot prevent pure vasospastic myocardial infarction.
Coronary artery spasm is a recognized cause of myocardial infarction. This report describes a case of myocardial infarction attributed to pure coronary spasm which was halted by a double perfusion with streptokinase and nitroglycerin. Further coronary artery spasm leading to a myocardial infarction could not be avoided several weeks later, although the patient was left on calcium channel blocke...

It has been shown that the incidence of vasospastic angina pectoris is more frequent in Japanese people than in Caucasians, and calcium channel blockers and/or nitrates were effective in these patients [1]. Conversely, it has been claimed that about 20% of cases are not treated effectively with combined administration of calcium channel blocker and nitrate [2]. In refractory cases, it has been ...
متن کاملIncreased frequency of angina attacks caused by switching a brand-name vasodilator to a generic vasodilator in patients with vasospastic angina: Two case reports
It is well known that calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are the first line of therapy for vasospastic angina (VSA). Here, we report two cases of VSA with an increase in the frequency of angina attacks after switching from a brand-name to a generic CCB. In both cases, angina recurred upon switching from a brand-name CCB to a generic CCB during follow-up. The patients' condition improved upon switc...

UNLABELLED Coronary vasospastic angina (CVsA) plays an important role in myocardial ischemia including stable angina, acute coronary syndromes, and sudden cardiac death. Inflammation status from either endothelium or adventitia can cause endothelial dysfunction. Thereafter, the endothelial dysfunction further induces vascular smooth muscle hypercontraction through the enhanced rho-kinase with t...
