Comparison of prolonged bivalirudin infusion versus intraprocedural in preventing myocardial damage after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with angina pectoris.

13 Oct 2009 Modern antithrombotic strategies for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) must take into account the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic complications. Bivalirudin decreases the risk of hemorrhagic complications after PCI; ... Read more...

Timing of clopidogrel loading before percutaneous coronary intervention in clopidogrel-naive patients with stable or unstable angina: a comparison of two strategies.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Clopidogrel-naive patients subjected to coronary angiography may be candidates for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Clopidogrel loading with 600 mg at least 2 hours before the procedure is advised for such patients. However, ... Read more...

Treatment of stable angina pectoris by ivabradine in every day practice: the REDUCTION study.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The antianginal efficacy of ivabradine was studied in controlled clinical trials. Strict patient selection criteria may cause a discrepancy between the results of highly controlled clinical trials and everyday routine practice. The ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Angina Pectoris'

Definition: The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation. It is thought to be provoked by a transient stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the MYOCARDIUM exceed that supplied by the CORONARY CIRCULATION.
