The effects of nicorandil, a new antianginal drug, on size of myocardial infarction were studied in anesthetized, open-chest dogs after left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion. To quantify the extent of the hypoperfused zone, 99mTc-albumin microspheres were injected into the left atrium 1
BACKGROUND
Although antianginal drugs are used over several months and through to years in stable angina, there is scant evidence regarding their influence on outcomes. The METRO (ManagEment of angina: a reTRospective cOhort) study sought to assess the independent effect of using these drugs on
The antianginal activity of Cardil, 240-360 mg/day, and Cordafen, 30-60 mg/day, was evaluated in 74 patients with non-Q wave acute myocardial infarction. Repeated 24-hour ECG monitoring was used as an objective tool for the evaluation of their therapeutical efficiency in two randomized groups.
ECG gated 201Tl scintigraphy was compared to non gated images for detecting 2-3 vessel disease 1-3 months after a first uncomplicated myocardial infarction. In all, 111 patients on anti anginal treatment underwent coronary arteriography and stress thallium imaging; 39 showed single vessel disease
to analyze causes of attacks of angina pectoris and assess impact of optimization of antianginal therapy on frequency of attacks provoked by various factors.
We analyzed diaries of 1226 survivors of myocardial infarction (MI) which occurred within 12months before inclusion in the LINKOR program.
Mildronate is a fatty acid oxidation inhibitor approved as an antianginal drug in parts of Europe. We carried out the first study to determine whether a 10-day course of mildronate could reduce myocardial infarct size (IS) during acute myocardial ischemia. Sprague Dawley rats received 200 mg/kg/d of
OBJECTIVE
To elucidate the mechanism of the circadian pattern of onset of acute myocardial infarction by examining the effects of prior antianginal treatment upon it.
METHODS
Retrospective analysis of clock time of the onset of acute myocardial infarction by linear modelling to define the circadian
25 patients with stable angina pectoris after acute myocardial infarction were given single and maintenance doses of isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-5-MN) in a controlled-release formulation. For evaluation of the efficacy of this treatment, a score based on exercise tests and patient's complaints
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of anti-anginal agents on plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels and the autonomic nerve functions evaluated by advanced noninvasive electrocardiographic (ECG) tests in post-myocardial infarction (PMI) patients.
METHODS
The subjects were 89
The study was designed to assess the antiarrhythmic and antianginal properties of pindolol as well as the tolerance to the drug by patients who had experienced a myocardial infarction 5 to 6 months previously. Exercise tests were performed in 521 postinfarct patients before and after a single oral 5
BACKGROUND
Ranolazine, a piperazine derivative, reduces ischemia via inhibition of the late phase of the inward sodium current (late I(Na)) during cardiac repolarization, with a consequent reduction in intracellular sodium and calcium overload. Increased intracellular calcium leads to both
It has been suggested that ranolazine protects the ischemic/reperfused heart by reducing diastolic wall pressure during ischemia. However, there is limited information regarding the effect of ranolazine on the anatomic zone of no-flow in a model of acute myocardial occlusion/reperfusion. Before
The effect of metoprolol on chest pain has been assessed in terms of the duration and the use of narcotic analgesics, nitrates and calcium-channel blockers. Fewer metoprolol-treated patients in the MIAMI trial were given narcotic analgesics (49% of the placebo patients vs 44% of the metoprolol
