Progression of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) from Stable Angina (SA) Towards Myocardial Infarction (MI): Role of Oxidative Stress [PDF]
Introduction: There is now a consensus that atherosclerosis represents a state of heightened oxidative stress which is characterized by lipid and protein oxidation in the vascular wall.

SELL and GUCY1A1 Gene Polymorphisms in Patients with Unstable Angina
Acute ischaemia is mostly caused by the rupture of an unstable atherosclerotic plaque in a coronary artery, resulting in platelet accumulation and thrombus formation, which closes the lumen of the coronary vessel.

Management in unstable angina [PDF]
That unstable angina is a serious and potentially dangerous condition which requires immediate attention is a statement with which few clinicians would disagree. However, if it is examined more closely and attempts are made to establish exactly just how serious and how dangerous, an apparent confusion emerges.

Why do patients having coronary artery bypass grafts have different costs or length of stay? : An analysis across ten European countries [PDF]
We analyse variations in costs or lengths of stay (LoS) for 66,587 patients from ten European countries receiving a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure. In five of these countries, variations in cost are analysed using log-linear models. In the

Unstable Angina: A Classification [PDF]
The establishment of a prognosis and the approach to the treatment of many diseases is aided greatly by a logical classification. For example, classification of a wide variety of neoplasms by anatomic extent, microscopic appearance, and the presence of special markers now forms the basis for selecting appropriate therapy.

Association of 6-Minute Walk Performance and Physical Activity With Incident Ischemic Heart Disease Events and Stroke in Peripheral Artery Disease. [PDF]
BackgroundWe determined whether poorer 6-minute walk performance and lower physical activity levels are associated with higher rates of ischemic heart disease (IHD) events in people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).Methods and ...

AbstractThe pathophysiology of unstable angina has been better elucidated in the past five years and has led to more rational therapy. Coronary arteries in patients with unstable angina have atherosclerotic plaques which are often complex and are the site of platelet activation and fibrin deposition.
