Variants of unstable angina pectoris were compared upon examination of 366 relevant patients. 24-h ECG monitoring registered painless ST shifts in 75 of them. Treatment at hospital produced results independent of ischemia form (painful or painless). However, the analysis of long-term response for 10 patients demonstrating episodes of ischemia at discharge suggests that in spite of numerous adjustments of treatment in 70% of the patients the risk of unfavorable outcome seems great.

Objective: To investigate the association between plasma miR-146a expression levels, severity of coronary lesions, and clinical prognosis in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP).
Methods: A total of 100 patients with UAP and 100 controls were selected for assessment of plasma miRNA-146a expression levels. We assessed the severity of coronary lesions in patients with UAP using the Gensini score.

Objective: An association between white blood cell count (WBC-C) before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and prognosis has been established in patients undergoing PCI. However, the effect of WBC-C after PCI on the long-term prognosis of patients with unstable angina pectoris (UA) is unclear.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in 1811 consecutive patients with UA.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of diagnoses ranging from unstable angina pectoris to myocardial infarction with and without ST-segment elevation and frequently presents as the first clinical manifestation. It is crucial in this scenario to perform a timely and comprehensive assessment of patients by evaluating the clinical presentation, electrocardiogram and laboratory diagnostics using highly sensitivity cardiac troponin in order to initiate a timely and risk-adapted continuing treatment with immediate or early invasive coronary angiography.

Background & Objective: Timely intervention for Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) could effectively reduce the mortality rate of ACS patients. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of miR-30c-5p for ACS and to provide a convenient biomarker for diagnosing of ACS.
Methods: Baseline information was collected from a total of 173 subjects (98 ACS subjects and 65 healthy subjects).

Angina pectoris (AP), a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal chest pain, is caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries and sudden temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Long-term AP typically induces other cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, posing a serious threat to patient safety. However, AP's complex pathological mechanisms and developmental processes introduce significant challenges in the rapid diagnosis and accurate treatment of its different subtypes, including stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and variant angina pectoris (VAP).
