Properly treated, unstable angina and non-Q wave myocardial infarction have low hospital mortality, but if untreated, mortality is high. Symptoms and labs usually suffice for diagnosis. Abnormal physical findings are rarely helpful and often absent. Careful surveillance and management, including invasive management in selected cases, substantially reduce long-term risks.

Diagnostic Value and Short-Term Prognosis Assessment of Copeptin in Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome.
J Cardiovasc Transl Res
December 2024
Department of Clinical Laboratory, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, China.
This study explored the early diagnosis and prognostic value of copeptin in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). 171 patients with chest pain or myocardial ischemia symptoms were enrolled. Patients with NSTE-ACS were further divided into the non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA).

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of wearable devices when associated with usual care on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with ischemic heart disease compared with usual care alone.
Methods: Randomised clinical trials with patients aged 18 years and above with ischemic heart disease, using wearable devices and assessing at least one of the primary outcomes (myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, or major adverse cardiovascular events) or secondary outcomes (all-cause mortality, hospitalisation, all arrhythmias, heart failure, unstable angina or revascularisation procedures) were included. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINHAL, INAHTA and the Web of Science Core Collection were searched in April 2024.
Identification of patients with unstable angina based on coronary CT angiography: the application of pericoronary adipose tissue radiomics.
Front Cardiovasc Med
December 2024
Cardiovascular Medicine Department, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong, China.
Objective: To explore whether radiomics analysis of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) captured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) could discriminate unstable angina (UA) from stable angina (SA).
Methods: In this single-center retrospective case-control study, coronary CT images and clinical data from 240 angina patients were collected and analyzed. Patients with unstable angina ( = 120) were well-matched with those having stable angina ( = 120).
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leaders in morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most common cause of emergency hospitalization of cardiac patients is acute coronary syndrome, represented by acute forms of coronary heart disease: unstable angina and myocardial infarction. Among the young population (18-44 years old, according to WHO), in contrast to the older cohort, there has been a significant increase in cardiovascular morbidity over the last two decades.

January 2024
Cardiovascular Research Center, Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences, Bandar Abbas, Iran.
Background: The relationship between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity is still a matter of debate in non-diabetic patients. This study aimed to determine the association between HbA1c and the severity of CAD in non-diabetic patients.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018-2019 on 133 non-diabetic patients with stable angina, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction (MI).
