Thrombolysis plus heparin versus heparin alone in the acute phases of unstable angina: preliminary findings
1995
Abstract Several studies have shown conflicting effects of thrombolysis in patients with unstable angina. In these trials the time between presentation with chest pain and randomization was long (12 hours to 3 days). This study compared thrombolysis and heparin with heparin-alone treatment in patients in the acute phase of unstable angina. One hundred fifty-three consecutive patients hospitalized with chest pain at rest (first episode) lasting >5 minutes but P = 0.013). Data suggest that thrombolysis plus heparin produces faster clinical stabilization than heparin alone in patients treated during the acute phase of unstable angina.
Effects of gemfibrozil on insulin sensitivity and on haemostatic variables in hypertriglyceridemic patients.
2000
In order to assess the efficacy of gemfibrozil on lipid and haemostatic parameters in patients with plurimetabolic syndrome, a multicenter double-blind placebo controlled, parallel study was carried out in 56 patients with primary hypertriglyceridemia and glucose intolerance. These patients had elevated PAI activity and antigen and t-PA antigen levels at rest and after venous occlusion. Gemfibrozil reduced plasma triglyceride levels (P0.001), whereas it increased free fatty acids (P0.05) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (P0.05). In those patients reaching normalization of plasma triglyceride levels (triglyceride reductionor =50%) (n=15), insulin levels (P0.05) as well as the …
