Type of angina pectoris that is irregular. It is also classified as a type of acute coronary syndrome.
1Conclusions: The absence of preinfarction angina is more frequently observed in patients with no-reflow.
2Earlier myocardial reperfusion may thus account for the smaller infarct size in patients with preinfarction angina.
3The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical significance of preinfarction angina in the no-reflow phenomenon.
4Background: When a myocardial infarction is preceded by angina, the infarct tends to be smaller than when there is no preinfarction angina.
5Methods: We compared 14 patients who had unstable angina during the week before myocardial infarction with 9 patients who had no preinfarction angina.
