BACKGROUND
Heart rate reduction should benefit patients with chronic stable angina by improving myocardial perfusion and reducing myocardial oxygen demand. This study evaluated the antianginal and antiischemic effects of ivabradine, a new heart rate-lowering agent that acts specifically on the
We tried to assess the efficacy of precordial exercise electrocardiography (PEE) in evaluating various antianginal drugs. PEE was performed by 18 precordial electrodes. Leads V2-V7 were recorded at their usual position and one intercostal space higher and lower. The Bruce treadmill exercise protocol
We compared the effects of abrupt cessation of nifedipine and isosorbide dinitrate therapy in patients with stable angina pectoris. Eighteen males were studied. Each patient received isosorbide dinitrate and nifedipine continuously for 5 weeks by randomised cross-over technique. Exercise treadmill
The deterioration of the long-term fractal component of heart rate variability (beta) is reported in patients with organic heart disease. To examine the day-to-day variability of beta and to study the effects of nipradilol (NIP), an antianginal agent, on beta in patients with coronary artery disease
It has recently been demonstrated that trimetazidine (TMZ), an anti-ischemic antianginal agent, is also able to improve exercise performance in patients with peripheral arterial disease. TMZ is a metabolic modulator, and the mechanisms underlying its cytoprotective anti-ischemic activity could be
Experiments on dogs with acute coronary insufficiency were made to show that nonachlazine in doses of 3 and 5 mg/kg considerably reduces or even prevents the rise of S-T segment on the epicardial electrogram depending on the intensity of ischemia. Hydroxyfedrine in doses of 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg
Trimetazidine (TMZ) is an anti-ischemic agent which has been used for years as an effective anti-anginal agent in cardiac patients. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of TMZ on the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), histopathological
OBJECTIVE
To study long-term results of 3-42-month (mean 18.1 +/- 1.2 month) of a prospective clinically and angiologically controlled follow-up after coronary endovascular revascularisation with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) comorbid with type 2
Patients with severe, widespread coronary atherosclerosis and patients who have undergone several coronary artery bypass operations are often poor candidates for coronary bypass surgery (CABG). Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been shown to have an anti-anginal effect that is probably associated
Results from early in vitro experiments have led to the assumption that a deterioration in carbohydrate metabolism must be expected if diabetic patients are treated with calcium antagonists. In order to determine the truth of this assumption, we reviewed 74 publications reporting effects on glucose
Since metabolic side effects of conventional antihypertensive drugs could be one reason for the lack of improvement of cardiac morbidity and mortality, metabolic neutrality has become an important postulate of newer products such as the calcium antagonists (CA). Carbohydrate homeostasis--in spite of
In the secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD) the beneficial effect of lipid lowering is no longer controversial. LDL-apheresis is a feasible therapy for effective lipid lowering in patients refractory to diet and cholesterol lowering drugs. To assess the impact of the HELP-therapy
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine the effect of nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS) or atenolol on ischemic left ventricular dysfunction induced by mental stress.
BACKGROUND
The efficacy of conventional antianginal therapy in preventing myocardial ischemia induced by mental stress
Certain drugs can induce ventricular tachycardia (VT) by creating reentry, ventricular after potentials or exaggerating the slope of phase 4. These may or may not be symptomatic, sustained or non-sustained and have variable ECG appearances: monomorphic or polymorphic, bidirectional, torsades de
The role of medical treatment of patients who had resting nocturnal angina as well as exertional angina was investigate. The effects of atenolol 100 mg a day, nifedipine 20 mg three times a day, and isosorbide mononitrate 40 mg twice a day were investigated in a double blind, triple dummy randomised
