[Comparative efficacy of tiklid and aspirin in patients with unstable angina]
Aim:
To evaluate effects of tiklid and aspirin on hemostasis, antithrombogenic activity of vascular wall in patients with unstable angina (UA).
Material And Methods:
An open randomized trial enrolled 30 UA patients given tiklid (n = 16) or aspirin (n = 14). Hemostasis, platelet aggregation, antithrombogenic activity of the vascular wall were examined on the treatment day 1 and 20. The response was assessed by the number of anginal attacks, dose of nitroglycerine, data of Holter monitoring.
Results:
Tiklid was more effective than aspirin in UA patients as it by the treatment day 20 lowered platelet aggregation more, higher elevated anticoagulation potential of the blood and vessels, and stronger activated fibrinolytic hemostasis.
Conclusion:
Compared to aspirin, tiklid is more potent antiaggregant, has greater effect on antithrombogenic properties of the vascular wall.

Antianginal Drugs: Nitrates and β-Blockers
Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow. Administered...
