Summary
Acupuncture shows promise for treating angina pectoris, a common symptom of coronary heart disease. This review synthesizes evidence on acupuncture
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Integrative Medicine
- Clinical Research
Background:
- Angina pectoris, a symptom of coronary heart disease, results from insufficient myocardial blood flow causing chest pain.
- Coronary atherosclerotic stenosis leads to myocardial ischemia or necrosis, manifesting as precordial pain.
- Recent clinical studies suggest acupuncture as a promising treatment for angina pectoris.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for treating angina pectoris.
- To synthesize evidence from randomized controlled trials on acupuncture's effectiveness in managing angina symptoms.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature search of multiple databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, etc.) up to November 2019.
- Inclusion of randomized controlled trials assessing acupuncture for angina pectoris.
- Quality and risk assessment using Cochrane 5.1.0 criteria, with meta-analysis performed using Revman 5.3 and Stata13.0 software.
Main Results:
- The meta-analysis will assess acupuncture's effectiveness, recurrence rates, and symptom score improvements in angina pectoris patients.
- Data analysis will focus on quantitative synthesis of outcomes from included studies.
Conclusions:
- This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of acupuncture's therapeutic role in angina pectoris.
- Findings will inform clinical practice regarding the use of acupuncture for coronary heart disease symptom management.

199
IntroductionThe management of angina requires a comprehensive approach that includes pharmacological therapies, medical procedures, and lifestyle modifications.Pharmacological TherapiesAntiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor, play a pivotal role in preventing thrombus formation in patients with angina. These medications inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce the likelihood of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events.Anticoagulants, including...

Angina, a symptom of myocardial ischemia, requires a structured nursing management approach to ensure effective care and prevent complications like myocardial infarction. Comprehensive nursing care involves assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes, all tailored to the individual patient's needs.Patient AssessmentNursing assessment begins with a detailed subjective evaluation of symptoms, which typically include chest pain or pressure radiating to the...

228
Angina, also known as angina pectoris, is a chest pain resulting from diminished blood flow to the heart muscle and is often a symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina presents several variants with distinctive attributes, etiologies, and therapeutic approaches. The main types of angina include stable, unstable, variant (Prinzmetal's), microvascular, intractable, and silent ischemia.Stable angina is caused by atherosclerosis, which leads to the formation of plaques that narrow the coronary...

Angina manifests as chest pain, tightness, or squeezing discomfort typically located behind the breastbone. It can radiate to the neck, jaw, shoulders, and inner aspects of the upper arms, most commonly the left arm. Patients may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, profuse sweating, dizziness, indigestion, heartburn, palpitations, anxiety, and vomiting as accompanying symptoms. This pain often lasts a few minutes and is triggered by physical exertion, emotional stress, heavy meals, or cold...

01:30Angina I: Introduction
411
Definition and Symptoms: Angina (angina pectoris) is chest pain or discomfort caused by myocardial ischemia, which occurs when the heart muscle receives insufficient oxygen-rich blood. It typically manifests as pressing, squeezing, or crushing sensations in the chest and may radiate to the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.Primary Cause: In a healthy state, the coronary arteries can dilate (widen) to increase blood flow and meet the increased oxygen demand during physical activity or...

In cardiovascular health, antianginal drugs combat angina pectoris — a condition marked by chest pain owing to diminished blood flow to the heart.
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....
