Angina: Research
Top Research
1. A new drug straight to the heart: F15845
This new compound that we are talking about promises to prevent pain in chest, especially heart patients. This new compound (from the researchers of Centre de Recherche, Pierre Fabre in France), termed as F15845, is yet to hit the racks of chemists. Researchers have given clearance to the fact that this newly found drug has anti-angina activity which can readily protect heart cells from damage. Side effects, as of now, have been tipped as almost none. Cleared for FDA for testing on animals, it has passed the test and is now just waiting for the human course.

2. Efficacy of zinc for treating anigna
This was discovered years back when anti-atherogenic properties of zinc reduces the levels of angina inhibitors like TNF-alfa, IL-1beta, IL cytokines and mRNa’s in HL cells were found. In short, it inhibits the propagation of lipid per-oxidation and the development of atherosclerosis. Thus an increased use of zinc in medicines being made for angina patients has been suggested.

3. Ivabradine
After years of study and research, scientists have discovered a new drug which combats angina in a much better way as compared to other drugs on the shelf. This newly found drug, named Ivabradine, has been found to be more effective in patients with high and rising heart rates. It has been found to reduce effectively myocardial infection, coronary revascularization and left systolic dysfunction.

4. Coenzyme Q10
This coenzyme has been found to be a good soluble antioxidant which relieves the heart from pain in case of a heart attack or angina pectoris. Years of research have found Q10 to be a safe and well tolerated coenzyme. The results of years of research indicate increase in positive result as far as exercise capacity, patients quality of live daily schedule were concerned.

5. Stable angina via non invasive imaging techniques
This is the new field of research whose results are yet to come. This method used non-invasive imaging techniques along with intravascular ultrasound with virtual histology and Optical Coherence Tomography. With the aim to assess the seriousness of ischema caused by CAD, it is directed towards addressing the microcirculatory dysfunction of the heart.
