Backraund; Thiols are important elements for oxidation reactions and under oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to determine thiole levels, an antioxidative marker in CAD patients with stable acute coronary syndrome. Methods; 210 the included were diagnosed syndrome (ACS), 205 consisted angina pectoris (SAP). Thiol groups levels thiol/disulphide homeostasis measured by spectrophotometric...

Abstract: Identification of high-risk subjects is crucial in prevention coronary heart disease. Ear lobe crease and forehead wrinkles are easily identifiable physical signs that could potentially be an indicator artery lesion severity. This study aimed to determine the relationship between earlobe morphology with severity stenosis patients stable angina pectoris using modified Gensini score. wa...

The effects of mental and physical stress on platelet function in patients with stable angina pectoris and healthy controls were investigated. Platelet function was studied at rest, and during mental stress (colour word test), or after exercise (bicycle ergometry), in 113 angina patients (21 on aspirin) and 50 matched controls. Platelet function was assessed by filtragometry ex vivo (reflecting...

The plasma levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) had been proved to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Few studies involved the entire arginine methylation dysfunction. This study was designed to investigate whether arginine methylation dysfunction is associated with acute coronary syndrome risk in coronary artery disease population.In total 298 patients undergoing coronary an...

Gualou Xiebai is a basic prescription for the treatment of angina pectoris in Synopsis Golden Chamber. This article summary theoretical research and clinical application Xiebai, hope to promote use practice.

Background: Coronary artery disease is mainly caused by atherosclerosis and its complications. Platelets and their activity have an important role in initiation of atherosclerotic lesions and coronary thrombus formation. Larger platelets are enzymatically and metabolically more active and have a higher potential thrombotic ability as compared with smaller platelets. Aim: To compare platelet vol...

The association of angina pectoris with mitral stenosis has interested cardiologists for many years. The first reference seems to be that of Nothnagel (1891) who found anginal pain in 18 per cent of his patients with mitral stenosis. There have been many case reports since that time of angina pectoris occurring in young subjects with mitral stenosis a number of instances normal coronary arterie...

AIMS Patients with chest pain and no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are considered at low risk for cardiovascular events but evidence supporting this is scarce. We investigated the prognostic implications of stable angina pectoris in relation to the presence and degree of CAD with no obstructive CAD in focus. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified 11 223 patients referred for coronary a...

This systematic review aims to evaluate current evidence for the benefit and side effect of oral Panax notoginseng preparation for coronary heart disease (CHD). We included 17 randomized clinical trials (17 papers and 1747 participants). Comparing with no intervention on the basis of conventional therapy, oral Panax notoginseng did not show significant effect on reducing cardiovascular events, ...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition and increased blood levels of inflammatory biomarkers have been observed in acute coronary syndromes. In addition, high expression of inflammatory markers is associated with worse prognosis of coronary artery disease. The presence and extent of inducible ischemia in patients with stable angina has previously been shown to have strong progn...
