Takotsubo is a sudden event, not one with crescendo angina. 9 This dissociation between the degree of stenosis and the propensity to provoke an acute coronary syndrome helps to explain why myocardial infarction often occurs without being heralded by the demand-induced symptoms of angina that would result from a high-grade stenosis.

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; N Engl J Med.

The impact of this narrowing can ultimately result in angina (chest pain), which has been shown to double the risk of major cardiovascular events,1 as well as myocardial infarction ( heart attack ) or even death.

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?
