Effects of Statin Treatment on Patients with Angina and Normal or Nearly Normal Angiograms
Author(s): Olivia Manfrini , Peter Amaduzzi , Maria Bergami , et al Added: 3 years ago
Statins are commonly used in patients with hypercholesterolaemia and in those with cardiovascular diseases – that is, peripheral artery disease and coronary artery disease (CAD) – for the prevention of atheromatous plaque development, progression and complications, with the aim of reducing subsequent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), i.e. cardiac death, acute MI, stroke and heart… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
Author(s): Gaetano Antonio Lanza Added: 3 years ago
Up to 50% of patients who undergo elective coronary angiography for stable chest pain symptoms that are mainly related to exercise and typical enough to suggest the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are found to have normal or near-normal coronary arteries.1 The mechanisms responsible for angina chest pain in these patients are heterogeneous; accordingly, their identification… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
Author(s): Maria Grazia Modena , Annachiara Nuzzo , Rosario Rossi , et al Added: 3 years ago
Women with angina but no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) at coronary angiography have long been considered a low-risk population.1–3 Instead, data from the Women‘s ischaemia syndrome evaluation (WISE) study4 demonstrated that persistent chest pain (PChP) – also in the absence of CAD – is not a benign condition. These patients experienced major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as… View more

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute, profound, but reversible heart failure syndrome, usually but not always triggered by physical or emotional stress. To date, the exact pathogenic mechanism of this syndrome remains unclear; however, several hypotheses involving vascular mechanisms (i.e. abnormal coronary epicardial or microvascular vasoreactivity),1-3 endocrine and gender-related mechanisms (i… View more

Women have for many years been regarded as being at relatively low risk for the development of ischaemic heart disease (IHD).1,2 Recently this pattern has changed and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now the leading cause of death for women in Europe.3,4 Under the age of 60 years acute coronary syndrome occurs 3–4 times more often in men; however, after the age of 75 years women represent the… View more

Meditation and Cardiovascular Health: What is the Link?
Author(s): Sebastian Schnaubelt , Andreas Hammer , Lorenz Koller , et al Added: 3 years ago
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While traditional treatment protocols follow physical or pharmaceutical interventions, the mental approach of meditation has been used for centuries to induce beneficial changes to the patients’ cardiovascular risk profile. However, scientific refurbishment of this technique has in the past raised questions of… View more
