These quantitative tools provide a measure of the integrated effects of focal coronary stenoses, diffuse atherosclerosis, and microvascular dysfunction on myocardial perfusion. This data set allows improving the diagnosis and assessment of the extent of epicardial disease, reclassifying the prognosis, demonstrated through robust literature data that confirm the incremental value over other variables in the risk stratification of patients with ischemic heart disease, and allow to identify coronary microcirculatory disease with or without epicardial CAD. A more accurate and sensitive assessment of myocardial tissue ischemia is then obtained.

With the increase in life expectancy and reduction of deaths from acute coronary diseases, there is a significant increase in the disease in its chronic form, especially in the elderly. In these patients, angina pectoris represents the main presentation of the condition. This research is a narrative review carried out through bibliographic research in databases on drug treatment for CAD, and aims to describe the role of the clinical phar-macist in medication adherence. The treatment of CAD includes myocardial infarction (MI) prevention, reduction of mortality, and reduction of symptoms, improving the quality of life of patients. Beta-blockers, antiplatelet drugs, statins, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are the main pharmacological therapies that can reduce mortality and prevent MI, while some drugs, such as nitrates, ivabradine, trimetazidine, allopurinol, and ranolazine help minimize the occurrence of myocardial ischemia and associated symptoms. Health education focused on the importance of CAD treatment, especially in an individualized and accessible way, may favor long-term adherence. The pharmacist’s work, along with the multidisciplinary team, has the potential to help reduce hospitalizations, by rationalizing the therapy and diminishing the incidence of medication-related problems, which ultimately helps patients to have a more active life with fewer restrictions.","PeriodicalId":190881,"journal":{"name":"Revista da Sociedade de Cardiologia do Estado de São Paulo","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116967008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prevention of cardiovascular events targets acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and CAD-as-sociated death and focuses primarily on reducing the incidence of acute thrombotic events and the development of ventricular dysfunction. More recently, the concept of residual risk emerged, with therapies that can potentially reduce additional risk to the established the-rapy.

Patients with RA evolve with great functional limitation due to pain and consequent loss of quality of life, and their improvement is the focus of treatment. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an adjuvant therapy that effectively promotes secondary prevention in patients with coronary artery disease, but it is rarely prescribed for patients with refractory angina due to concerns about adverse events during exercise, related to triggering ischemia myocardial infarction at low thresholds. In this review, we address the experience obtained with the management of patients with RA in a reference center for the treatment of RA, especially related to exercise-based CR. Some peculiarities in the evaluation and prescription of training in patients with RA and their understanding are important to promote greater safety and efficacy of physical exercise in this population.","PeriodicalId":190881,"journal":{"name":"Revista da Sociedade de Cardiologia do Estado de São Paulo","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127990793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

T2DM has a great impact on the survival and quality of life of patients with stable angina, especially in younger patients and in those with multiple comorbidities. Although all T2DM complications are equally relevant, cardio-vascular disease and coronary artery disease (CAD) are especially important, as they are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in this group of patients. Despite the fact that in the last 15 years there has been a significant decline in the rates of acute myocardial infarction, stroke and amputations in patients with T2DM, ischemic complications have reappeared, especially in younger and middle-aged individuals. These data reveal the need for increased attention to the implementation of cardiovascular risk control measures in patients with T2DM, especially in those with established CAD. Thus, in order to improve the survival and quality of life of diabetic patients, the most diverse national and international societies recognize the prevention of vascular ischemic events as one of their main priorities. Although comprehensive strategies to control cardiovascular risk have been shown to be efficient in patients with T2DM, rates of cardiovascular events remain high among these individuals, even with adequate control of modifiable risk factors — as seen in recent clinical studies. This reinforces the need for additional measures to control events in this population. Fortunately, several recent therapeutic strategies have become available in recent years, including advances in anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy, new cholesterol-lowering drugs, and new agents to control blood glucose with potential cardiovascular benefits.This chapter discusses the main therapeutic strategies to be implemented in patients with T2DM and stable angina, in order to optimize the reduction of cardiovascular events, control of symptoms and improvement of quality of life.","PeriodicalId":190881,"journal":{"name":"Revista da Sociedade de Cardiologia do Estado de São Paulo","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126047601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
