  2. 1. Signs and implications of ischemia in unstable coronary artery disease

    Author : Ingvar Nyman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Signs and implications of ischemia in ECG at rest and at a predischarge exercise test (ET), were assessed in 911 patients with suspected or definite unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) - i.e. unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI). READ MORE

  4. 2. Prognostic implications of exercise induced and ambulatory ischemia in patients with stable angina pectoris

    Author : Lennart Forslund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : angina pectoris; exercise testing; ambulatory ECG; signs of ischemia; heart rate variability; catecholamines; metoprolol; verapamil; prognosis;

    Abstract : Results from exercise testing and ambulatory ECG registration were studied in 809 patients with stable angina pectoris; special attention was paid to signs of ischemia during both tests. Autonomic nervous system activity was investigated by measurements of heart rate variability (HRV) and catecholamines in plasma and urine. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analgetic and algetic effects of adenosine in healthy volunteers and patients with coronary disease

    Author : Bita Sadigh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Angina pectoris; silent myocardial ischemia; opioid; gender; preconditioning;

    Abstract : Background: Adenosine is a bimodal neuromodulator with algesic and analgesic effects. The different effects of adenosine are partly due to the route of administration. Low-dose adenosine infusion induces analgesia at the same magnitude as morphine, while adenosine as bolus injection induces chest pain, similar in character as angina pectoris. READ MORE

  6. 4. Angina pectoris : neurophysiological mechanisms with special references to adenosine and Syndrome X

    Author : Björn E Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Angina pectoris; adenosine; myocardial ischemia; nociception; cardiac nervous system; neuropathic; analgesia; [beta]-endorphin; met-enkephlin; exercise; Syndrome X; silent ischemia; biopsies; physical training;

    Abstract : Angina pectoris is the major symptom of ischemic heart disease (IHD). It is a visceral pain and the clinical presentation is complex. Its character is not well defined and this is reflected in a lack of specific pain-mediating neural structures. READ MORE

  7. 5. The road from atherosclerosis to myocardial infarction : studies in an experimental model

    Author : Anne-Louise Hemdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; ischemia; hypoxia; matrix metalloproteinase; remodelling; electrocardiogram; gene expression; inflammation;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a slow progressing disease with continuous lipid deposition and inflammation in the arterial wall. Stenotic arteries may cause angina pectoris but it is the sudden formation of an occluding thrombosis on the atherosclerotic plaque that leads to myocardial infarction. READ MORE
