However, it is not well known whether left atrial area index (LAAI) has predictive value for prognosis in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP). This study was aimed to assess the association between LAAI and outcomes in UAP patients. Methods We enrolled a total of 391 in-hospital patients diag- nosed as UAP. Clinical and echocardiographic data at baseline were collected. The patients were followed for the development of ad- verse cardiovascular (CV) events, including hospital readmission for angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), congestive heart failure (CHF), stroke and all-cause mortality. Results During a mean follow-up time of 26.3±8.6 months, 98 adverse CV events occurred (84 hospital readmission for angina pectoris, four AMI, four CHF, one stroke and five all-cause mortality). In a multivariate Cox model, LAAI [OR: 1.140, 95% CI: 1.01±1.279, P = 0.026], diastolic blood pressure (OR: 0.976, 95% CI: 0.956-0.996, P = 0.020) and pulse pressure (OR 1.020, 95% CI: 1.007-1.034, P = 0.004) were independent predictors for adverse CV events in UAP patients. Conclusions LAAI is a predictor of adverse CV events independent of clinical and other echocardiographic parameters in UAP patients.展开更多

Methods: Fifty-four patients with UAP were equally assigned into two groups, the treated group and the control group, both treated with conventional Western medicine, but with GLE given additionally to the treated group. Blood of all patients was taken before and 4 weeks after treatment to prepare the peripheral mononuclear cells, then which were incubated in the completed medium containing granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulatory factor (GMCSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) to induce mature DO. The expression of co-stimulating factor CD86 (B7-2) on the surface of DC was detected by flow cytometry, and the stimulating capacity of DC was determined by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). The blood levels of cytokines, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and IL-4, were analyzed by ELISA, and blood C-reactive protein (CRP) level by turbidimetry. Moreover, the direct effect of Ginkgolide B on CD86 expression on DO were also tested in vitro. Results: After treatment, CD86 expression on DO, the stimulating capacity of DO as well as levels of IFN-γ and ORP were lowered in both groups (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01), but the changes were much more significant in the treated group than those in the control group. Ginkgolide B showed a direct inhibitory effect on the CD86 expression on DO. Conclusion: The inhibition of GLE on DO and thereby the suppression on inflammatory reaction may be one of the mechanisms of GLE in treating patients with UAP.展开更多

Methods: One hundred and twenty old in-patients of coronary heart disease with UA were randomly divided into two groups. The 60 patients in the treated group were treated with oral administration of enteric soluble 50 mg Asp once a day and GDI 20 ml per day by intravenous dripping, with 14 days as one therapeutic course, while the other 60 in the control group were treated with enteric soluble Asp 100 mg alone once a day orally. Besides, isosorbide-5-mononitrate 20 mg twice a day was applied to both groups, and the β-ad-renoceptor blocker, blood lipids regulatory agents and nitroglycerin (10 mg by intravenous dripping) were given accordingly. The angina total improving rate, hemorrheologic indexes (whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, platelet aggregation rate), comprehensive clinical terminal event and the total occurrence rate of adverse reaction in the two groups were observed. Results: After treatment, comparison between the two groups showed insignificant difference in aspects of angina total improving rate (75.00% vs 65.00%), hemorrheological indexes and comprehensive clinical terminal event rate (25.00% vs 31.67%), P>0.05, and the hemorrheological indexes were improved in both groups (P<0.05), but the total occurrence rate of adverse reaction in the treated group was lower than that in the control group (6. 67% vs 25.00%), showing significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: In treatment of senile UA, small dose of Asp combined with GDI showed therapeutic effect similar to that of conventional dose of Asp, but it has lower adverse reaction.展开更多

Methods 70 cases with UAP were enrolled including 25 patients with angina decubitus (AD), 23 patients with mixed angina (MA) , and 22 patients with accelerated effort angina (AEA). All patients underwent a series of examination such as UCG, ECT, hemodynamics and volume-loading test. The patients were divided into three groups in light of the results of the hemodynamic examination: ① diastolic dysfunction group ② systolic dysfunction group ③ normal heart function group. We assessed the basic heart function and cardiac reserve function of patients with different types of UAP and also observed the relations between coronary arteriography and heart function. Results ① Under basic conditions, patients with angina decubitus suffered from the systolic (36%) or diastolic dysfunction (48%). 43 percent of the patients with mixed angina had systolic dysfunction and other 43 percent of them had normal cardiac function. However, patients with accelerated effort angina (AEA) were characterized by diastolic dysfunction (31%) or normal heart function (60%). ② In hemodynamic examination, the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of positive patients rose, at the same time cardiac index fell to the extreme instantaneously after loading in volume-loading test and then they restored to the basic level until 60 minutes. However, both PCWP and CI of the negative patients reach the peak momentarily after loading. They returned to the basic level within 30 minutes. ③ coronary arteriography show: there are 41% of patient with three-vessel disease, 50% with two-vessel disease, 9% single vessel disease and left main narrowing 22. 7% in AEA. There are separately 76%, 24%, 0% and 36% in AD; and 26.1% , 43.4% , 21.7% , 43.4% in MA. ④ Constituent ratio of the AEA and MA were separately compared with AD, AEA/AD: P < 0.05(P = 0.031); MA/AD: P < 0.01 (P = 0.000313). Conclusions Most of patients with the above three types of unstable angina pectoris suffered from the basic heart dysfunction and cardiac reserve dysfunction which might participate in the occurrence and development of unstable angina pectoris. In angiography, there are the most three-vessel diseases in AD that are, therefore, the most severe UAP.展开更多

Mehtods Blood samples were drawn at different time after onset of chest pain in 21 patients with UAP and only once in 20 each volunteers for control. CKMM3/MM1 ratio was detected by nonserial buffer agarose gel electrophoresis. CKMB and CK were observed by velocity method. An emergent coronary arteriography was performed as soon as patients were admitted into hospital. Results Patients with UAP were divided into two subgroups: patients with elevated serum enzyme [P( + )] and patients with normal serum enzyme [P( - ) ] according to CKMM3/MM1 ratio < 0. 5. Patients with UAP( + ) had higher serum CKMM3/MM1 ratios from 0.5 to 12hrs and serum CKMB from 2 to 12 hrs than those with UAP( - ) and control ( P < 0. 05) . Serum enzyme concentrations of patients with UAP whose coronary lumen had 90% or more than 90% stenosis were significantly higher than those whose coronary lumen had less than 90% stenosis ( P <0. 01) . Any CK-MM3/MM1 ratio was less than 1. 0 and CK within the normal range in patients with UAP( + ) group. Conclusions CKMM3/MM1 ratios in patients with UAP can reflect severity of myocardial ischemia. SerumCKMM3/MM1 ratio provides a simple, reliable, and economical method for identifying high-risk UAP.展开更多

This study aimed to assess the effect of St. John's wort extract (SWE) on depressive disorder in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris. Altogether 170 patients who met the set criteria were enrolled in this prospective study. They were randomly divided into SWE group (44 patients), Deanxit group (44), psychotherapy group (42), and control group (40). The effectiveness of SWE was evaluated by reduced percentage of Hamilton depression (HAMD) scale and reduced frequency of angina pectoris attack, which were measured before and at 12 weeks after the treatment with SWE. The reduced percentages of HAMD scale were 79.5%, 56.8% and 57.1% in the SWE, Deanxit and psychotherapy groups, respectively. Compared with the control, the three groups had significant differences in the percentages (P〈0.001). The improvement after the treatment was more significant in the SWE group than in the Deanxit or psychotherapy group (P〈0,05). The improvement of angina pectoris evaluated by the Canadian Cardiac Society Classification was significantly better in the treatment groups (88.7%, 65.9%, 57.1%) than in the control group, and it was marked in the SWE group (P〈0.001). Angina pectoris attack, its frequencies, durations and electrocardiographic changes were significantly improved in the treatment groups than in the control group (F=6.05, 4.58, 5.12, P〈0.01). They are markedly improved in the SWE group (P〈0.05). SWE can improve depressive symptoms more significantly in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris than Deanxit or psychotherapy, proving that SWE contributes to better treatment of angina attack as well.展开更多

文摘Objectives To explore the basic heart functional state and cardiac reserve function of patients with different types of unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and observe the relations between the heart function and severity of coronary arterial disease. Methods 70 cases with UAP were enrolled including 25 patients with angina decubitus (AD), 23 patients with mixed angina (MA) , and 22 patients with accelerated effort angina (AEA). All patients underwent a series of examination such as UCG, ECT, hemodynamics and volume-loading test. The patients were divided into three groups in light of the results of the hemodynamic examination: ① diastolic dysfunction group ② systolic dysfunction group ③ normal heart function group. We assessed the basic heart function and cardiac reserve function of patients with different types of UAP and also observed the relations between coronary arteriography and heart function. Results ① Under basic conditions, patients with angina decubitus suffered from the systolic (36%) or diastolic dysfunction (48%). 43 percent of the patients with mixed angina had systolic dysfunction and other 43 percent of them had normal cardiac function. However, patients with accelerated effort angina (AEA) were characterized by diastolic dysfunction (31%) or normal heart function (60%). ② In hemodynamic examination, the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of positive patients rose, at the same time cardiac index fell to the extreme instantaneously after loading in volume-loading test and then they restored to the basic level until 60 minutes. However, both PCWP and CI of the negative patients reach the peak momentarily after loading. They returned to the basic level within 30 minutes. ③ coronary arteriography show: there are 41% of patient with three-vessel disease, 50% with two-vessel disease, 9% single vessel disease and left main narrowing 22. 7% in AEA. There are separately 76%, 24%, 0% and 36% in AD; and 26.1% , 43.4% , 21.7% , 43.4% in MA. ④ Constituent ratio of the AEA and MA were separately compared with AD, AEA/AD: P < 0.05(P = 0.031); MA/AD: P < 0.01 (P = 0.000313). Conclusions Most of patients with the above three types of unstable angina pectoris suffered from the basic heart dysfunction and cardiac reserve dysfunction which might participate in the occurrence and development of unstable angina pectoris. In angiography, there are the most three-vessel diseases in AD that are, therefore, the most severe UAP.
文摘Objective To observe the relationship between serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MM sub-bands (CKMM3/MM1 ratio) and the gradation of coronary stenosis and provide a simple, reliable, and economical method for identifying high-risk unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Mehtods Blood samples were drawn at different time after onset of chest pain in 21 patients with UAP and only once in 20 each volunteers for control. CKMM3/MM1 ratio was detected by nonserial buffer agarose gel electrophoresis. CKMB and CK were observed by velocity method. An emergent coronary arteriography was performed as soon as patients were admitted into hospital. Results Patients with UAP were divided into two subgroups: patients with elevated serum enzyme [P( + )] and patients with normal serum enzyme [P( - ) ] according to CKMM3/MM1 ratio < 0. 5. Patients with UAP( + ) had higher serum CKMM3/MM1 ratios from 0.5 to 12hrs and serum CKMB from 2 to 12 hrs than those with UAP( - ) and control ( P < 0. 05) . Serum enzyme concentrations of patients with UAP whose coronary lumen had 90% or more than 90% stenosis were significantly higher than those whose coronary lumen had less than 90% stenosis ( P <0. 01) . Any CK-MM3/MM1 ratio was less than 1. 0 and CK within the normal range in patients with UAP( + ) group. Conclusions CKMM3/MM1 ratios in patients with UAP can reflect severity of myocardial ischemia. SerumCKMM3/MM1 ratio provides a simple, reliable, and economical method for identifying high-risk UAP.
文摘Objectives To study the effects of XUEZHIKANG on lipid modulating and the level of oxidized low density lipoprotein(OX - LDL), C -reactive protein(CRP), fibrinogen(FIB) in serum. Methods XUEZHIKANG was given to patients with unstable angina pectoris and hyperlipidemia at a dose of 0. 6 gram bid for 2 months and with half -dose for another 2 months. Vitamin E was given to unstable angina pectoris patients with normal lipid at the dose of 0. 1 gram bid for 4 months respectively. Then compared the level of lipid and OX - LDfL, CRP, FIB in serum at beginning, first - month and second -month. Results XUEZHIKANG can reduce the serum level of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein in 1 month , and gained better effect in 2 months. It can also reduce triglyceride and increase high density lipoprotein in 2 months. Compared with vitamin E XUEZHIKANG can reduce the level of OX - LDL, CRP, FIB significantly after treatment for 2 months. Conclusions XUEZHIKANG has significant effect in lipid modulating , and it can also inhibit the development of inflammation in coronary plaque.
文摘Objective: To discuss the effect of Yixinkangtai Capsule combined with diltiazem on endothelial function, blood viscosity and lipid metabolism in patients with unstable angina pectoris. Methods: A total of 150 patients with unstable angina pectoris who were treated in the hospital between February 2014 and February 2017 were divided into the control group (n=75) and the research group (n=75) according to the random number table method. Control group received clinical conventional therapy, research group received Yixinkangtai Capsule combined with diltiazem therapy on the basis of conventional therapy, and both groups received 3 months of treatment. Differences in endothelial function, blood viscosity and lipid metabolism were compared between the two groups of patients before and after treatment. Results: Before treatment, the differences in serum levels of endothelial function indexes, blood viscosity indexes and lipid metabolism indexes were not statistically significant between the two groups. After 3 months of treatment, serum NO level of research group was higher than that of control group while ET-1 level was lower than that of control group;serum blood viscosity index TXB2 content of research group was lower than that of control group while PGI2 content was higher than that of control group;serum lipid metabolism indexes TG, TC and LDL-C contents of research group were lower than those of control group while HDL-C content was higher than that of control group. Conclusion: Yixinkangtai Capsule combined with diltiazem therapy can effectively optimize the endothelial function, reduce the blood viscosity and balance the lipid metabolism in patients with unstable angina pectoris.
文摘Objective:To investigate the effect of adjuvant salvianolate therapy on plaque stability, cell apoptosis and coagulation indexes in patients with unstable angina pectoris.Methods: 92 patients with unstable angina pectoris treated in our hospital between May 2011 and August 2015 were collected, and after the treatment process and auxiliary examination results were retrospectively analyzed, they were divided into the control group (n=45) who accepted conventional treatment and the observation group (n=47) who accepted adjuvant salvianolate treatment. Before and after treatment, diasonograph was used to evaluate the plaque stability parameters of two groups of patients;ELISA was used to detect apoptosis-related molecule levels;immunoturbidimetry was used to detect blood coagulation indexes.Results: Before treatment, differences in plaque stability parameters, cell apoptosis molecules and coagulation indexes were not statistically significant between two groups of patients (P>0.05). After treatment, the plaque stability parameters plaque thickness, enhanced intensity, rise time and time to peak of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05);serum sFas, sFasL, fibrinogen (Fib), platelet (PLT), and D-Dimer (D-D) levels of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group while Bcl-2, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) levels were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05).Conclusions: Adjuvant salvianolate treatment can increase the plaque stability, also inhibit myocardial cell apoptosis and improve the coagulation function in patients with unstable angina pectoris.
文摘The elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) are often accompanied with depression. This study aimed to assess the effect of St. John's wort extract (SWE) on depressive disorder in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris. Altogether 170 patients who met the set criteria were enrolled in this prospective study. They were randomly divided into SWE group (44 patients), Deanxit group (44), psychotherapy group (42), and control group (40). The effectiveness of SWE was evaluated by reduced percentage of Hamilton depression (HAMD) scale and reduced frequency of angina pectoris attack, which were measured before and at 12 weeks after the treatment with SWE. The reduced percentages of HAMD scale were 79.5%, 56.8% and 57.1% in the SWE, Deanxit and psychotherapy groups, respectively. Compared with the control, the three groups had significant differences in the percentages (P〈0.001). The improvement after the treatment was more significant in the SWE group than in the Deanxit or psychotherapy group (P〈0,05). The improvement of angina pectoris evaluated by the Canadian Cardiac Society Classification was significantly better in the treatment groups (88.7%, 65.9%, 57.1%) than in the control group, and it was marked in the SWE group (P〈0.001). Angina pectoris attack, its frequencies, durations and electrocardiographic changes were significantly improved in the treatment groups than in the control group (F=6.05, 4.58, 5.12, P〈0.01). They are markedly improved in the SWE group (P〈0.05). SWE can improve depressive symptoms more significantly in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris than Deanxit or psychotherapy, proving that SWE contributes to better treatment of angina attack as well.
