Solving the coronary-myocardial disease puzzle through             theories that are really based in facts!!!

The Acidity Theory of Atherosclerosis, 2006

Main therapy: Stress reduction and sympatholytic agents

 

+ Deficient production of endogenous
Sympathetic dominance digitalis-like compounds 
by continuous stress  with alterations 
in Na/K pump activity
   
 
atherosclerosis
Lowered pH with generation of
    mechanical forces in blood flow

 

The Myogenic Theory of Myocardial Infarction, 1972

Main therapy: Cardiac glycosides

 

    Stable angina pectoris
 
Coronary atherosclerosis
  1. relative myocardial ischemia
Slow coronary flow   2. reciprocal contractile loss
       
 
    Physical and psycoemotional stress factors /
 
Segmentary myocardial disease
Pharmacological factors and 
    negative inotropic agents
 
 
     
Unstable angina /    
Intermediary syndrome      
 
Infarctioning clinical picture
  Primary myocardial necrosis
1. regional myocardial insufficiency    (infarction)
2. reciprocal myocardial ischemia    
     
 
 
Secondary coronary thrombosis   Coronary stasis or fragmentation and
 
(not obligatory)
displacement of atheromatous
    plaque by edema
