Prognosis in unstable angina. [PDF]
A retrospective study was made of 158 patients with unstable angina admitted to a coronary care unit over a 4-year period. Twenty patients (13 per cent) had myocardial infarcts while in hospital, and of these 3 died; three others died without preceding evidence of myocardial infarction. There was thus an acute mortality rate of 4 per cent.

Incidence and 1‐Year Prognostic of Unstable Angina After High‐Sensitivity Troponin Assessment
ABSTRACT Background Incidence and prognostic of unstable angina after high‐sensitivity troponin assesment is controversial. Aims This study evaluated prognostic of a contemporary population of patients with UA defined using high sensitive T troponin (T hs‐cTn) measurements and with significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Consecutive patients

Association between unstable angina and CXCL17: a new potential biomarker
Atherosclerosis and chemokines are strongly related, but the role of the chemokine CXCL17 in atherogenesis is still poorly understood. We aim to investigate the serum CXCL17 levels in different stages of patients with coronary heart disease and explore ...
