[Ischaemic heart disease in cancer patients. Questions and problems].

Cardiovascular and oncologic diseases are the causes of more than 50 percent of mortality in Europe. In 2015 oncologic and cardiovascular mortality reached 70 percent in Hungary. Patients who receive anticancer therapies are at a 2- to 7-fold greater long-term risk of acute coronary syndrome; also concomittant oncologic diseases further increase the mortality of myocardial infarction.

High on clopidogrel treatment platelet reactivity is frequent in acute and rare in elective stenting and can be functionally overcome by switch of therapy.

Unlabelled: The benefit of adjusted antiplatelet therapy in patients with myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention is not well elucidated. We aimed to identify patients with high on treatment platelet reactivity and to gradually adjust antiplatelet therapy.

Materials And Methods: We enrolled 133 acute myocardial infarction and 67 stable angina patients undergoing intracoronary stenting into our study.

Elevated C1rC1sC1inh levels independently predict atherosclerotic coronary heart disease.

Unlabelled: Clinical studies as well as animal models emphasized the importance of the complement system in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to examine the extent and clinical implication of complement system activation in patients with stable atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (ACHD). Seventy-six patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) scheduled for elective coronary angiography were enrolled into the study.
