The authors presents in the article information on influence of endothelial dysfunction and level of blood leukocytes with clinical course of stable angina pectoris in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). 104 male patients aged from 36 to 69 (on average 54.9+/-2.1 years) with IHD and stage I-III stable angina pectoris have been observed. The level of leukocytes, ECG daily monitoring, endotelial function with the help of Celermaera-Sorensena test and plasma concentration of endothelin I have been studied in patients. It was established that there is no significant different (P>0.05) in the level of leukocytes between health persons and patients with IHD independently of functional class of angina pectoris. Patients with IHD had higher level of endothelin I in their blood serum than those in a control group. Patients with IHD have a complicated endothelial-non-dependent vasodilation and an increased thickness of the complex intima-media, there is a negative correlation bond between these characteristics. Patients III functional class of angina pectoris has also reliably decreased endothelial-dependent vasodilation by 37%. Frequency of ventricular extrasystoles in patients with IHD and endothelial dysfunction increases by 12 times.

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) has a significant impact on public health and healthcare expenditures in the United States (US).
Methods: We used data from the CDC WONDER database from 1999-2020 to identify trends in the IHD-related mortality of patients ≥ 75 years in the US. AAMRs per 100,000 population and APC were calculated and categorized by year, sex, race, and geographic divisions.

Background: Glyphosate, as the main component of glyphosate pesticides, has been shown to have toxic effects on multiple human systems. However, the association between glyphosate and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the effect of glyphosate exposure on ASCVD.

Refractory angina pectoris (RAP) is a clinical syndrome characterized by persistent chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia that is unresponsive to optimal pharmacological therapy and revascularization procedures. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for managing RAP, offering significant symptom relief and improved quality of life. A systematic literature review was conducted to evaluate the clinical effectiveness, mechanisms of action, and safety profile of SCS in treating RAP.

Background: Serum levels of silent information regulator 6 (SIRT6), a key biomarker of aging, were identified as a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD), but whether SIRT6 can distinguish severity of coronary artery lesions in older adult patients is unknown.
Objectives: This study developed a nomogram to demonstrate the functionality of SIRT6 in assessing severity of coronary artery atherosclerosis.
Methods: Patients aged 60 years and older with angina pectoris were screened for this single-center clinical study between October 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023.

Background: Discrepancies often exist between patient-reported symptoms and diagnostic test findings in patients with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).
Objectives: To quantify the association between patient-reported symptoms and the diagnosis of severe stenosis in patients with suspected obstructive CAD.
Methods: Two large-scale cohorts of patients with new-onset symptoms suggestive of obstructive CAD were evaluated.
