Higher blood volume in IHD may contribute to angina; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before clinical consideration.
Case-Control
Absolute Event Rate: 6.4% vs 5.6%
Patients with ischemic heart disease exhibit significantly increased intravascular blood volume at rest and during exercise, suggesting it may play a role in the pathogenesis of angina pectoris.
Gábor et al. (1976) conducted a case-control in Ischaemic heart disease. Ischaemic heart disease vs. Controls was evaluated on Intravascular blood volume at rest. Ischaemic heart disease was associated with a significantly higher resting intravascular blood volume compared to controls (6.4 vs 5.6 litres).
