A diagnosis of coronary heart disease was made in 47% of participants and 36% of patients were labeled as having angina due to coronary heart disease following initial clinical evaluation. At 6 weeks, CCTA reclassified 558 (27%) patients to a diagnosis of CHD and 481 (23%) patients to a...
Efficacy endpoints, assessed at 4- and 12-month follow-up, were a reduction in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina class, improvement in QOL evaluated by using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), improvement in exercise tolerance examined using the 6MWT, and reduction in anti-anginal...
Among the cardiac manifestations (heart failure, atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, angina, aortic valve stenosis), 52.5% of patients in Japan had at least 2 manifestations, whilst in the US 59.4% of patients had more than 2 manifestations. CONCLUSIONS. These findings highlight the prevalence of...
(ECG), angina-confirmed exercise tolerance testing or by clinically significant obstruction oncoronary angiography,congestive heart failure, or need forrevascularizationwithangioplastyand/orcoronary artery bypass. Intensive diabetes therapy reduced the risk of a cardiovascular event by 42% and reduced the ...
The variables for the GRACE 2.0 (age, heart rate, blood pressure, creatinine, Killip class, cardiorespiratory arrest on admission, elevated cardiac enzymes, ST segment elevation) and TIMI (age > 65 years, cardiovascular risk factors, coronary stenosis > 50%, two episodes of Angina in...
MACE was defined as acute coronary syndrome (defined as ST-elevation myocardial infarction [ICD codes I21.0-I21.3, I21.919], non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction [ICD code I21.419], unstable angina pectoris [ICD code I20.0]), de novo AF (ICD codes I48.0-I48.2, I48.9), hospitalization ...

A total of 50 patients with stable angina and 15 healthy volunteers underwent adenosine stress CMR at 1.5T with quantification of MBF and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR). FFR and IMR were measured in 101 coronary arteries during subsequent angiography. A total of 27 patients had obstructive ...
Another variable that may be useful in determining if drug therapy for treating cardiac ischemia is warranted is the patient's activity level as measured by an accelerometer. Cardiac ischemia may occur while the patient is either active or at rest. Exertional angina, for example, occurs when a...
