Why the study?
What are the haemodynamic and electrocardiographic changes associated with resting postprandial angina in patients with coronary artery disease?
Population
10 patients with angiographically proven coronary artery disease and history of postprandial angina
Comparison
Meal consumption (postprandial state) vs Postprandial state not followed by angina
Design
Case_series
Follow-up
25 minutes after a meal

Postprandial angina may warrant closer hemodynamic monitoring in CAD; case report leaves open mechanisms and generalizability.
What are the haemodynamic and electrocardiographic changes associated with resting postprandial angina in patients with coronary artery disease?
Postprandial angina is associated with early increases in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and ischemic ECG changes without an initial increase in the rate-pressure product, suggesting a primary decrease in myocardial perfusion.
Figueras et al. (1979) studied this question.
