... cadmium levels, smoking, and angina. We analyzed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2003–2014) accounting for the multi-staged complex sampling design. Participants 40–79 years of age with blood cadmium levels but without a history of myocardial infarction and/or stroke were...

...Cristina Balla; Rita Pavasini; Roberto Ferrari Ischaemic heart disease is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, while angina represents its most common symptom. It is estimated that approximately 9 million patients in the USA suffer from angina and its treatment is challenging, thus...

... CHF provided no benefit for cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction (primary composite end point), with secondary analyses suggesting possible harm in the angina subgroup. Therefore, we examined the impact of ivabradine in the patients with CHF plus angina in SHIFT. Methods: SHIFT...

... vasodilator functions are present in patients with variant angina (VA) caused by epicardial coronary artery spasm (CAS). Methods: We studied 23 patients with VA (i.e. angina at rest, ST-segment elevation during angina attacks and documented occlusive CAS at angiography) and 18 matched healthy controls...

Lipicky Objective: It was the aim of this study to document the risks of symptomatic patients with angina in placebo-controlled...

...William W Parmley Angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease is a common manifestation of myocardial ischemia. Reduction of oxygen demand (β-blockers) and relief of coronary vasoconstriction (calcium blocker or nitrate) are additive approaches to controlling ischemia. Risk factor reduction may...

...Anders Melcher; Joseph Dens; Paul Curry; Horst Hagel Nisoldipine coat core (CC) is a long-acting calcium channel blocker (CCB) with a slow and smooth onset of action. It is effective in the treatment of angina pectoris, increasing exercise duration, time to ST segment depression and time to onset...

Cruz Seven patients with ongoing angina with ST-segment elevation, refractory to oral nifedipine and intravenous nitroglycerin, were treated by adding intravenous beta-blockers. Chest pain...

...Rami Saydjari; James R. Upp; Fred J. Wolma Angina pectoris resulting from the coronary-subclavian steal syndrome is a rare phenomenon with only 10 previously reported cases. However, with the increasing use of the internal mammary artery in the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure it may...

...Stephen C Vlay; Peter F Cohn Nitrates are vasodilators of venous and arterial smooth muscle commonly prescribed both for angina and congestive heart failure. Primarily venodilators, nitrates also affect the systemic circulation if administered in sufficient dosage. In the coronary circulation...

...B.L. Chia; B. Ee; A. Tan; L. Tan A 50-year-old male was admitted to hospital for repeated episodes of chest pain due to unstable angina. Serial electrocardiograms were all normal except for one electrocardiogram, recorded during chest pain, which showed isolated U wave inversion in leads I, V4...

...S. Talbot There was no significant difference in the blood pressure and heart rate response of hypertensive patients with and without angina to standardised exercise on a treadmill before and after anti-hypertensive treatment. There was no improvement in exercise tolerance in the hypertensive...

...Robert M. MacMillan; Fred D. Rose; June F. Klinghoffer; William S. Frankl A case of Prinzmetal’s angina pectoris (variant angina pectoris) is reported. The presentation provided two somewhat unusual elements in that relief of pain was sometimes obtained by jogging and elevated ST segment alternans...

...William E. Lawson; John C.K. Hui; Elizabeth D. Kennard; Gregory Barsness; Sheryl F. Kelsey Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) has been shown to reduce Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina class. This study examines the factors that affect the reduction at 1 year, especially in patients who...

...Keith A. Horvath Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) is a technique that has been performed on over 10,000 patients around the world. Most of the patients were not suffering from heart failure. TMR is principally used for the treatment of angina, but in patients with significant...

...C.P. Fitzgerald; W.E. Lawson; J.C.K. Hui; E.D. Kennard Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is effective in patients with angina refractory to medical therapy or revascularization. However, as a noninvasive treatment it should perhaps be considered the first-line treatment with invasive...
