conclusions no significant variance was observed among patients underwent for cardiac catheterization, stemi, nstemi, unstable angina, and atrial fibrillation with respect to ft4, ft3, and tsh levels during coronary care unit hospitalization based on their profile data. results excluding those taking thyroid hormone preparations, 76.7% of patients admitted with acute coronary heart disease (st-...

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...

According to the report of World Health Organization coronary artery disease every year has been considered as the leading death cause of more than 3.8 million men and 3.4 million women all over the world. Prodromal angina that occurs a short time before acute myocardial infarction onset has efficient protective effect in cardiovascular system with ischemic preconditioning but in conditions suc...

441 Abstract: Cardiac troponin T (TnT) is a regulatory contractile protein not normally found in blood. Minor elevations of TnT in patients with unstable angina have been associated with an increased risk of subsequent death or Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). We used a neewly developed enzyme immunoassay for TnT to determine whether its presence in the serum of patients with unstable angina ...

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...

introduction: in this recent study in kermanshah, the cardiovascular and cerebral complications due to high normal blood pressure during a four-year follow–up period have been investigated. materials and methods: this is a descriptive follow-up study in which about 1900 citizens (over 19 years old) in kermanshah, were randomly selected in clusters and undergone measurements of blood pressure tw...

The purpose of this study was to clarify the factors influencing the clinical course and prognosis in variant angina. Also, the mechanism of acute myocardial infarction in variant angina is reviewed. The subjects were 110 patients with variant angina who, after the initial visit or admission, were observed for a period of at least 2 months, the average observation period being 68 +/- 49 months ...

Identification of a characteristic morphology of a coronary stenosis likely to result in myocardial infarction would facilitate the prospective evaluation of infarct prevention strategies and identification of high-risk patients. We postulated that coronary lesions associated with recent myocardial infarction or unstable angina would have an angiographic morphology suggesting disruption of an a...
