Objectives: Routine therapies cannot control refractory stable angina, leading to a high economic burden and an impaired quality of life. Persian medicine incorporates exceptional attention to lifestyle and nutrition to prevent and treat various diseases. Previous studies have reported the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of wet cupping. The present study aims to determine the effects of nutrition and cupping on refractory stable angina patients. Methods: Forty male patients with refractory stable angina were randomly allocated to four groups, including nutrition modification based on Persian medicine, wet cupping, nutrition modification along with wet cupping, and control. The primary outcomes were the changes in pain score using a visual analog scale and quality of life using the Seattle angina questionnaire. The secondary outcomes were changes in the exercise test and blood pressure. Results: The results of the present study revealed that 30 days of treatment with nutrition modification based on Persian medicine, cupping, and modified nutrition and cupping along with standard treatment for stable angina significantly increased the patient's quality of life and exercise test results while reducing pain, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: Applying complementary Persian medicine methods such as nutrition modification and cupping along with the classical medical treatments may improve outcomes for refractory stable angina patients.

Herpes zoster is a viral disease characterized by skin rash and persistent pain. Early treatment with epidural analgesia provides very effective pain relief and reduces the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia. However, epidural analgesia in elderly, deliberated or hypovolemic patients may complicate circulatory depression such as hypotension and bradycardia. Even if temporary, a major decrease in blood pressure may decrease coronary blood flow of patients with arteriosclerosis and ischemic accident may occur. We experienced a case of unstable angina pectoris after lumbar epidural blockade in a herpes zoster patient with chronic stable angina pectoris.

관상동맥질환의 임상적인 개념은 지난 10년 동안 패러다임의 변화를 보여왔다. 관상동맥질환은 대부분 진행성 질환이며, 관상동맥질환 환자는 질병 진행의 어느 시점에서도 급성 관상동맥 증후군에 직면할 수 있다. 이러한 임상적 맥락에서 2019년 유럽심장학회 가이드라인에서는 조기 진단과 꾸준한 관리가 필요한 관상동맥질환의 임상적인 중요성을 반영하여 "만성관상동맥증후군"이라는 용어의 사용을 발표하였다. 최근 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영 혈관조영술을 이용한 관상동맥질환의 평가는 많은 발전을 이루었고, 안정형 협심증 또는 만성 관상동맥증후군 환자에서 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영 혈관조영술의 임상적 유용성은 초기 무증상 관상동맥질환의 발견에서부터 죽상경화판의 특성 분석 및 관상동맥질환의 치료 전략 결정에 도움을 주는 역할까지 관상동맥질환의 다양한 단계에 걸쳐 입증되고 있다. 이 종설에서는 안정형 협심증 환자의 이해를 돕는 병태생리를 설명하고 이에 대한 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영의 임상적 적용과 역할에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

To effectively develop and evaluate air pollution control measures, health risk rates due to air pollution must be identified. This article describes the application of a visual analysis and an air pollution-health risk model for determining the impacts of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure on angina pectoris patients in a metropolitan area. The procedures used for analyzing the relationship between CO exposure and the related increase in angina angina attacks for stable angina pectoris patients are described through a case study in the city of Seoul, Korea and the findings show that air-pollution-health risk model and visual analysis can be effective tools for environmental decision-makers, allowing air pollution control scenarios to be developed and evaluated for environmental protection. One of the features of this study is to provide a methodology for translating clinical findings into estimates of the relative contributions of air pollution to all causes of a particular disease. Therefore, there must be appropriate recognition of the uncertainties involved in the study.

Between July, 1987, and September, 1988, 6 patients with coronary occlusive disease received coronary artery bypass surgery at Kyungpook University Hospital. There were five males and one female whose age ranged from 39 to 64 years[mean 54*8.0 years]. Of the 6 patients, 5 suffered from unstable angina, 1 suffered from stable angina. Selective coronary angiography revealed a significant stenosis of the left anterior descending artery in 6 cases, of its diagonal branch in 1 case, of the right coronary artery in 1 case, the circumflex artery in 1 case, and of its obtuse marginal branch in 1 case. The mode of anastomosis were single saphenous vein graft in 3 cases, single left internal mammary artery graft in 1 case, double saphenous vein graft with sequential anastomosis in 1 case, and left internal mammary artery plus saphenous vein graft in 1 case. Of these, 6 grafts to left anterior descending artery were done. There was no operative death, but perioperative myocardial infarction was happened in 1 case. All survivors were free of angina and discontinuing medical therapy during the follow up period[mean 7.8*5.15 months].

안정형 협심증 환자에서 관상동맥질환의 치료 여부를 결정하고 임상 결과를 예측하기 위해서는 심근허혈의 평가가 중요하다. 현재 심근허혈 진단의 표준검사법으로 분획혈류예비력 검사법이 인정되나 침습적 검사라는 제한점이 있다. 또한, 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영은 형태적인 관상동맥질환 진단에 유용한 방법으로 정립되었지만, 혈역학적으로 유의한 협착에 의한 심근허혈 진단에는 한계가 있다. 최근 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영 영상을 기반으로 측정한 관상동맥 죽상경화판의 정량화, 심근관류, 그리고 심근 분획혈류 예비력을 이용한 연구들이 진행되어 왔고, 그 진단적 가치를 점차 인정받고 있다. 본 종설에서는 심근허혈진단과 관련된 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영 혈관조영술의 여러 영상기법들에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

동맥경화증의 생성 및 진행과정의 병태생리에 있어서 염증이 중요한 기전으로 여겨지고 있으며, 혈중에 이러한 염증반응을 나타내는 표식자들 중의 하나인 혈중 C-reactive protein(CRP) 농도가 동맥경화증의 중증도와 관계 있으며 심혈관사고와도 밀접한 연관이 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구는 협심증 환자에서 관동맥중재술에 의한 혈중 CRP의 변화가 단기간 임상경과에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 시행하였다. 1999년 12월부터 2000년 1월까지 협심증으로 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 순환기내과에 입원하여 관상동맥확장술을 시행받은 36명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 환자는 내원직후 임상적 병력을 청취하였고 혈중 troponin-T, CRP를 측정하였다. 관동맥확장술 12시간，24시간，48시간 그리고 72시간 후에 혈중 CRP를 측정하였으며, 24시간 후에 혈중 troponin-T를 측정 하였다. 퇴원 6개월 후에 외래에서 환자의 임상증상 유무를 측정하였다. 1) 단일혈관질환이 $0.33{\pm}0.20$ mg/dL, 2혈관질환이 $0.36{\pm}0.14$ mg/dL, 그리고 3혈관질환이 $0.56{\pm}0.38$ mg/dL로 병변 혈관수가 증가할수록 CRP가 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 2) 내원시 안정형 협심증 환자의 CRP가 $0.30{\pm}0.01$ mg/dL, 불안정형 협심증 환자가 $0.46{\pm}0.28$ mg/dL로 불안정형 협심증 환자에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 3) 시술전 CRP는 $0.38{\pm}0.20$ mg/dL 였으며 시술 후 12시간 $0.56{\pm}0.36$ mg/dL(p<0.05), 24시간 $0.91{\pm}0.66$ mg/dL(p<0.01), 48시간 $0.87{\pm}0.62$ mg/dL(p<0.01), 72시간 $0.63{\pm}0.41$ mg/dL(p<0.01)로 시술전에 비해 시술후 증가하는 양상을 보였으며, 특히 시술 24시간 후에 가장 많이 증가하였다. 이러한 변환의 양상은 안정형 협심증 보다 불안정형 협심증에서 증가량이 많고 상승기간이 오래 유지되었으며, 시술 후 24시간에 절대적인 증가량은 안정형 협심증이 $0.32{\pm}0.31$ mg/dL, 불안정형 협심증이 $0.79{\pm}0.73$ mg/dL로 불안정형 협심증에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 4) 시술 후 troponin-T의 변화량과 CRP의 변화량에는 상관관계가 없었다(r=0.135. p=0.04). 5) 초기 CRP가 0.6미만인 군 32명 중 4명(13%)에서 재협착을 보였으며, 0.06이상인 군 4명 중 2명에서 재협착을 보였다(50%, p<0.05). 시술후 24시간 CRP가 1.0미만인 군 25명 중 3명(12%)에서 재협착을 보였으며, 1.0이상인 군 11명 중 3명(27%)에서 재협착을 보였다(p=0.257). 안정형 협심증 환자에서는 초기 CRP가 0.6이상인 환자가 없어 통계적인 분석을 하지 못하였고, 불안정형 협심증 환자에서 초기 CRP가 0.6미만인 군 13예 중 1예(8%)에서 재협착을 보였고 0.6이상인 환자 4명 중 2명(50%) 에서 재협착을 보였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로 불안정형 협심증 환자에서 안정형 협심증보다 증가된 염증반응을 보이며, 초기에 증가된 염증반응은 관동맥확장술 후 재협착에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

Background: We analyzed the result of the "Off-Pump" Coronary Artery Bypass grafting (OPCAB) performed to minimize inflammatory responses to cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial ischemia during the aortic cross-clamp period. Material and Method : The preoperative diagnosis operative procedure mortality complication and postoperative course of the 50 patients who underwent OPCAB between January 1998 and September 1998 were analyzed. There were 34 males and 16 females with mean age of 60$\pm$9 years. Preoperative clinical diagnoses were unstable angina in 31(62%) stable angina in 16(32%) and clinical diagnoses were unstable angina in 31(62%) stable angina in 16(32%) and postinfarction angina in 3(6%) patients. Preoperative angiographic diagnoses were three-vessel disease in 25(50%) two-vessel disease in 5(10%) one-vessel disease in 7(14%) and left main disease in 13(26%) patients. There were elective operation in 37 cases and urgent operation in 13 cases. Result: The mean number of grafts was 3.2$\pm$1.2 per patient. Grafts used were unilateral internal thoracic artery in 43 greater saphenous vein in 37 radial artery in 7 bilateral internal thoracic arteries in 4 and right gastroepiploic artery in 2 cases Forty sequential anastomoses were performed in 18 cases. Vessels accessed were left anterior descending artery in 48 diagonal branch in 41 obtuse marginal branch in 30 right coronary artery in 24 posterior descending artery in 9 ramus intermedius in 5 and posterolateral branch in 5 anastomoses. Predischarge coronary angiography performed in 44 patients demonstrated the patency rate of 89.5%(128/143) Operative mortality was 2%(1/150) Postoperative complications were arrhythmia in 5 graft occlusion that needed reoperation in 4. perioperative myocardial infarction in 2 femoral artery thromboembolism developed after the application of IABP in 1 postoperative transient delirium in 1 peripheral compression neuropathy in 1 case. Sixteen patients(32%) were extubated at the operating room and the other patients were extubated at the mean 13$\pm$20 hours after the operation. Mean duration of stay in intensive care unit was 49$\pm$46 hours. Thirteen patients(26%) required blood transfusions perioperatively and the amount of perioperative blood transfusion was mean 0.70$\pm$1.36 pack/patient. Conclusion: OPCAB is suggested to be the ideal technique with less postoperative complication less hospitalization time and less cost.less cost.

During a 17-month period 32 consecutive patients underwent coronary artery bypass graft. The mean age of these patients was 45.3 years [range 39 to 71 years]. There were 18 men and 14 women. Preoperatively 11 patients had stable angina pectoris and 12 patients of unstable angina pectoris. 28% [9 patients] had of myocardial infarction history. The patterns of disease were single vessel involvement [4 casis], double vessel involvement [11 cases], triple vessel involvement [12 caese] and 5 cases of left main coronary artery disease. Thirty-seven percent [12/32] were in New York Heart Association class IV. Myocardial revascularization was performed under emergency conditions in 3 patients. We performed 13 case of double anastomosis, 12 case of triple anastomosis and 4 case of 4 anstomosis [mean 2.59 anastomosis per patient]. The left internal mammary artery was used in 68.7%. 90% of the patients receieved two or more grafts. Complications occurred in 8 patients [25%]. All patients were followed up for a mean of 8.6 months [2 to 17 months]. There was no hospital and late death. Postoperatively 87% were in New York Heart Association class I or II and 96% of the patient were free from angina.
