Extent of myocardial ischemia during coronary occlusion in single vessel disease. A comparison between patients with exercise-induced angina and patients with recurrent angina at rest.

摘要

Patients with exercise angina 2 months (n:13) showed significantly lower SigmaST elevation during 120 s balloon coronary occlusion than those with =2 months (n:7), or those with angina at rest =2 days (n:8) but similar to patients with angina at rest 2 days (n:7). These results underscore the importance of the kind and duration of angina in limiting the extent of ischemia during coronary occlusion.
