The ORBITA-2 trial ( NCT03742050 ) investigated the efficacy of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) compared to placebo in 301 patients with stable angina. Results revealed ischemia in one cardiac territory in 80% of patients, two territories in 17%, and three territories in 2%. compared to the placebo group (5.6;

Whether stenting a narrowed coronary artery improves symptoms such as chest pain (angina) or shortness of breath is a very different question. Share Angina The classic definition of angina involves the sensation of tightness in the centre of the chest that is brought on with exertion and is relieved with rest. The result?

Given the consistency of the clinical profile with typical angina, associated risk factors, and abnormal ECG findings, a cardiology consult was promptly requested. It should be known that each category can easily manifest the generic subendocardial ischemia pattern. What’s interesting is that the ECG can only detect ischemia.

The patient was given aspirin, heparin, morphine, and ondansetron and and transferred to a PCI-capable facility for a diagnosis of "unstable angina" with dynamic ECG changes. The receiving emergency physician consulted with interventional cardiology who stated there was no STEMI. And is there new left bundle branch block (LBBB)?
