OBJECTIVES We sought to examine completed 10-year survival and event-free survival in patients with stable and unstable angina pectoris treated by coronary balloon angioplasty. BACKGROUND Patients with unstable angina are at increased risk for recurrent acute coronary events. METHODS The study included 208 consecutive patients (133 with stable and 75 with unstable angina pectoris) undergoin...

Stable angina pectoris is a common and disabling disorder. In recent years, its pathophysiology has been clarified and there have been major advances in its diagnosis and management. There is, however, no consensus as to the optimal strategy of investigation and treatment. Furthermore, its therapy has not been subjected to the same scrutiny by large randomized trials as has, for example, that o...

Angina pectoris is a common symptom imperiling patients' life quality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for stable angina pectoris. Clinical randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of acupuncture to conventional drugs in patients with stable angina pectoris were searched using the following database of PubMed, Medline, Wanfang and CN...

The clinical presentation of ischaemic heart disease includes stable and unstable angina pectoris, silent ischaemia, myocardial infarction, heart failure and sudden death [1]. For many years, unstable angina has been considered an intermediate syndrome between chronic stable angina and acute myocardial infarction. In recent years, its pathophysiology has been clarified and acute coronary syndro...

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with clinical symptoms of stable angina pectoris and healed myocardial infarction (n = 22) has shown that oral supplementation with L-arginine (6 g/day for 3 days) increases exercise capacity (tested on a Marquette case 12 treadmill according to the modified Bruce protocol). Results suggest that the inefficient L-arginine/nitric o...
