Stable angina, often referred to as angina of effort, and its principal cause, reduction of the lumen of epicardial coronary arteries, have been recognized for >2 centuries.1,2 Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), its clinical picture, and the importance of coronary thrombosis in its origin were described a century ago.3 These 2 conditions, stable angina

Comparison study of Interleukin-1 alpha between Unstable Angina and Acute Myocardial Infarction patients [PDF]
, 2013Multiple studies support a role for inflammation in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis and unstable cardiac syndromes. However, of the known pro-inflammatory cytokines, only elevated plasma levels of interleukin-6(IL-6) have been linked to ...

Diagnostic value of high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels in dedifferentiation of stable angina from unstable angina [PDF]
, 2014BACKGROUND: Differentiation of stable angina from unstable angina is important because they need different approaches. Few studies have been conducted to assess the diagnostic value of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in differentiating these ...

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays and unstable angina
European heart journal. Acute cardiovascular care, 2018The term unstable angina has been conventionally applied to patients with myocardial ischemia without myocardial necrosis. However, while the clinical context has remained constant over time, the biomarkers of myocardial injury and acute myocardial ...

Transient intermittent lymphocyte activation is responsible for the instability of angina. [PDF]
, 1992BACKGROUND Blood clotting activation is an important component of the inflammatory response; the outbursts of unstable angina are usually associated with increased thrombin formation and coronary mural thrombosis.
