  1. 1. Refractory angina pectoris. Patient characteristics, safety and long-term effects of spinal cord stimulation

    Författare :Paulin Andréll; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Angina pectoris; Deep white matter disease; Epidemiology; Health care costs; Morbidity; Mortality; Quality of life; Spinal cord stimulation;

    Sammanfattning : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as severe angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease which cannot be controlled by conventional pharmacological or surgical therapy. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown. During the last decades, additional treatment options have been developed for this condition. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Severe angina pectoris and spinal cord stimulation. Long-term effects and safety aspects

    Författare :Olof Ekre; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Angina pectoris; Epidemiology; Spinal cord stimulation; Quality of life; Mortality; Health care costs; Electromagnetic interference; Placebo effects;

    Sammanfattning : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as coronary artery disease and severe angina, where standard pharmacological and invasive treatment possibilities are exhausted. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown.During the last few decades, additional treatment options have evolved for this condition. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Myocardial gene therapy and gene expression in angina pectoris

    Författare :Andreas Rück; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Angina pectoris; gene therapy; vascular endothelial growth factor; plasmid; prognosis; collaterals; angiogenesis; gene expression; microarray; natriuretic peptides.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Angiogenesis does not fully counteract myocardial ischemia in stable angina pectoris. Refractory angina pectoris, with remaining symptoms despite medication and no possibility for bypass surgery or angioplasty, is rather common. Angiogenic gene therapy is a novel treatment strategy for these patients. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Initial and long-term effects of enhanced external counterpulsation in patients with refractory angina pectoris

    Författare :Susanne Bondesson; Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Symptom relief through spinal cord stimulation (SCS) based on the gate-control theory and enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) through improved coronary perfusion is two treatments in angina pectoris refractory to medication and surgery. The overall aim was to evaluate and compare the initial and longterm effects, utilization and cost of EECP compared to SCS. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Enhanced external counterpulsation treatment in patients with refractory angina pectoris with emphasis on physical capacity, health-related quality of life and safety : An explorative and interventional study

    Författare :Eline Wu; Jan Mårtensson; Anders Broström; Liyew Desta; Anna Ehrenberg; Jönköping University; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adverse event; enhanced external counterpulsation; experiences; health-related quality of life; physical capacity; refractory angina pectoris; safety;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Patients with refractory angina pectoris (RAP) suffer from debilitating symptoms with considerable limitation of functional capacity and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) despite optimised medical therapy. In addition, frequent angina symptoms are strongly associated with psychological distress. LÄS MER
