Article Synopsis
- Our research investigates the relationship between blood levels of MMP-9 and D-dimers and the occurrence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in patients with atherosclerotic coronary disease.
- We found that patients with severe coronary disease and angina had higher MMP-9 levels, while those with both severe coronary disease and AAAs had lower MMP-9 levels overall.
- D-dimer levels were notably higher in patients with both AAAs and significant coronary atherosclerosis, suggesting that MMP-9 and D-dimer could serve as useful diagnostic markers for AAAs in these patients.
The Clinical Approach to Angina in Women.

Women presenting with angina are more likely to have cardiac chest pain accompanied more frequently by associated symptoms like abdominal pain and lightheadedness. The evaluation of women with suspected coronary disease can be complex because many have microvascular dysfunction, coronary vasospasm, and altered coagulation that require specific testing protocols beyond the conventional stress testing and a coronary angiogram. Therefore, terms such as angina, ischemia, and myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary disease have been introduced in recent years.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) and disability in daily living activities among older adults in low- and middle-income countries, finding DAO increases the risk of disability by over twice compared to those without it.
- - Based on data from over 20,000 adults aged 60 and above, DAO was defined by low handgrip strength and high waist circumference, with disability measured by difficulties in daily activities.
- - Diabetes, hypertension, and angina were identified as significant mediators in the relationship between DAO and disability, highlighting the need for further research on how addressing DAO could mitigate disability risks in older populations.
Diagnosis and Management of Thoracolumbar Spinal Disorders Presenting as Cardiac, Gastrointestinal, and Other False Pain Syndromes.

Department of Neurosurgery, University of California, Irvine, Orange, CA.
Summary Of Background Data: Although pseudoangina is most commonly caused by cervical disc herniation, several cases have been described where thoracic herniation produced symptoms of pseudoangina. If thoracic herniation can produce angina-like pain, then it is important to consider whether pathology of the thoracolumbar spine, in general, can trigger false pain syndromes distinct from pseudoangina.
Objective: We seek to provide the most comprehensive study regarding the diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions causing false pain syndromes.
