Current Therapeutic Strategies in Stable Angina Pectoris
Current strategies of drug-induced relief of symptoms in patients with coronary heart disease aim to improve the imbalance between oxygen supply to the heart and oxygen demand, which is well known to be relevant for myocardial ischaemia and hence angina pectoris.1 The agents that reduce myocardial oxygen demand are mainly beta-blockers,…

Although cardiovascular mortality has declined progressively in developed countries, ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic stable angina cause a worse prognosis and poor quality of life and can dramatically increase healthcare costs.1–4 Traditionally, chronic stable angina has been interpreted as reversible episodes of myocardial ischaemia due to the presence of coronary artery disease…

Refractory angina (RA) is conventionally defined as a chronic condition (≥3 months in duration) characterised by angina in the setting of coronary artery disease (CAD), which cannot be controlled by a combination of optimal medical therapy, angioplasty or bypass surgery, and where reversible myocardial ischaemia has been clinically established to be the cause of the symptoms.1
In clinical…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) alters the function of the heart beyond mere changes in cardiac rhythm. It has been associated with untoward clinical outcomes in patients, such as the development of heart failure and stroke. Recent years have brought attention to several aspects of AF-associated alterations termed ‘remodelling’. This article will provide an overview of pertinent aspects of this subject…

Angina pectoris is a symptom that is usually, in the developed world, caused by obstruction to the coronary arteries by the enlargement of atheromatous lesions; there are other causes. The symptom can limit lifestyle, but more importantly is a repetitive reminder to the patient of the presence of heart disease, causing continual anxiety because of the belief that angina is the portent of early…

The term cardiac remodelling (REM) is used to define changes that produce geometrical rearrangement of the normal structures of the heart, together with complex biological and molecular alterations. REM affects the heart at the level of the cardiomyocyte, the blood vessels and the extracellular matrix. Proliferation of the latter, resulting in fibrosis, is one of the hallmarks of pathological REM…
