Obese individuals are often at risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular diseases such as angina, thereby requiring combination therapies for their comorbidities. Ranolazine is a second-line antianginal agent that also improves
The antianginal agent ranolazine (Ranexa®) is metabolized primarily by cytochrome P450-3A (CYP3A) enzymes. Coadministration with strong CYP3A inhibitors, such as ketoconazole and posaconazole, is contraindicated due to risk of QT prolongation from high levels of ranolazine. This study evaluated the
BACKGROUND
The pathophysiology of microvascular angina (cardiac syndrome X, CSX), (effort-induced angina, a positive response to exercise stress testing and angiographically normal coronary arteries) has not been fully elucidated. Various pathogenic mechanisms have been proposed, amongst which
The goal evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment with the new TMZ OD dosage form in different regions of the Russian Federation and regional differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with coronary artery disease included in the observation, the nature of their Our objective was to describe the short-term morbidity of coronary artery bypass operations and the effect of surgery plus aggressive cardiac rehabilitation on the long-term prognosis of severely obese patients with coronary artery disease. We investigated an inception cohort of 28 consecutive
There is a growing need to understand the underlying mechanisms involved in the progression of cardiovascular disease during obesity and diabetes. Although inhibition of fatty acid oxidation has been proposed as a novel approach to treat ischemic heart disease and heart failure, reduced muscle fatty
For further improvement of coronary heart disease (CHD) management large epidemiological studies are required to characterise the real population of patients with CHD, treated in the primary care settings, and to evaluate how the guidelines are implemented in the everyday clinical practice. The aim
BACKGROUND
Stable angina is usually caused by coronary atherosclerosis, and affects up to 16% of men and 10% of women aged 65-74 years in the UK. Risk factors include hypertension, elevated serum cholesterol levels, smoking, physical inactivity, and overweight. People with angina are at increased
Alcohol-like liver disease may be observed in patients with obesity or non insulin-dependent diabetes, or after treatment with such antianginal drugs as amiodarone and perhexiline maleate. In such cases cirrhosis is associated, at histology, with foci of acidophilic necroris, Mallory's bodies and
The first objective is to correct any existing coronary risk factors but this must be achieved with discrimination. Smoking should be strictly forbidden, hypertension reduced and a more active life style encouraged. However, a more nuanced approach should be adopted towards dietetic problems,
BACKGROUND
Recently it has been demonstrated that enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) could improve erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with refractory ischemic heart disease (IHD).
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effect of risk factors on the efficacy and the satisfaction rate of EECP in patients
The objectives in treating angina are relief of pain and prevention of disease progression through risk reduction. Mechanisms, indications, clinical forms, doses, and side effects of the traditional antianginal agents - nitrates, β-blockers, and calcium channel blockers - are reviewed. A number of
BACKGROUND
Asymmetric dosage regimens of isosorbide mononitrate provide better antianginal efficacy and quality of life in patients with stable angina pectoris than the daily administration of multiple small doses of the compound. It is not known whether certain patient characteristics contribute to
In an open-label self-controlled study of 1,350 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP), we previously demonstrated that 50 mg of isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) slow release formulation once daily not only provided a better antianginal effect but also a better quality of life (QOL) than did the
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death affecting 17.3 million people across the globe and are estimated to affect 23.3 million people by year 2030. In recent years, about 7.3 million people died due to coronary heart disease, 9.4 million deaths due to high blood pressure and 6.2
