Nitrates for Unstable Angina

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 1994
The term unstable angina encompasses heterogeneous clinical syndromes. Fissuring of an atherosclerotic coronary artery plaque with superimposed platelet deposition, with or without additional thrombus formation, is invariably responsible for a prolonged episode of angina at rest, increasing frequency of angina at rest, or with minimal exertion of less ...

What's “Unstable” in Unstable Angina?

Psychosomatics, 2004
The role of emotional distress (e.g., anger, depression, and anxiety) in anginal chest discomfort (ACD) may have been underestimated. The authors review the empirical studies in this area, which are inconsistent with the standard theory on the ischemia-angina relationship; summarize the substantial evidence indicating a strong and consistent cross ...

SURGERY FOR UNSTABLE ANGINA

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1977
A series of 84 patients with unstable angina, treated surgically by grafting procedures between October 1970 and September 1976, have been reviewed. The study indicates that extensive coronary artery disease is common in these patients, and suggests that operation may favourably influence mortality, both immediate and delayed, but does not reduce the ...

Angiography in unstable angina

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1991
Within the last decade, it has been appreciated that the acute coronary syndromes of unstable angina, non-Q-wave, and Q-wave myocardial infarction often share a common pathogenesis based on plaque disruption and thrombosis. Such "acute" lesions frequently have a characteristic angiographic appearance with sharp overhanging edges, irregular borders, and

Mechanisms of Unstable Angina

New England Journal of Medicine, 1986
The hallmark of unstable angina is its unpredictability. The symptoms, which occur without provocation, sometimes stabilize or resolve but sometimes progress to myocardial infarction or sudden death. This pattern contrasts with that of stable angina.

Unstable and stable angina

European Heart Journal, 1993
Treatment of both stable and unstable angina depends on initially defining the pathophysiological mechanisms. The goal of treatment is to prevent the development of angina pectoris and possibly also to improve the prognosis. beta-blockade is effective in treating effort-related angina, as are calcium antagonists, which are also effective in treating ...

Unstable Angina Pectoris

Survey of Anesthesiology, 2000
Unstable angina accounts for more than 1 million hospital admissions annually1; 6 to 8 percent of patients with this condition have nonfatal myocardial infarction or die within the first year after diagnosis.2,3 Various definitions of unstable angina have been proposed, but in 1989, Braunwald devised a classification system to ensure uniformity of ...

Unstable angina and thrombolysis

Chest, 1990
Unstable angina occurs in a heterogeneous population of patients. In the subset of patients with recent rest angina, both angiographic and angioscopic studies have suggested that coronary artery thrombus is often present and serves as a predictor of subsequent adverse clinical events, including recurrent angina, myocardial infarction, the need for ...

Management of unstable angina

Hospital Medicine, 2000
Unstable angina is a common condition that presents a challenge to physicians because of its complex pathophysiology, and because of the high incidence of associated death and myocardial infarction. This article summarizes key strategies that can be employed in managing unstable angina and describes their interaction with the mechanisms that underpin ...
