myocardial ischaemia

There are a number of cases in which patients feel the effect of myocardial ischaemia.

This is called a perfusion defect and usually represents myocardial ischaemia.

Overall, there is a small risk of myocardial ischaemia following sumatriptan-induced vasoconstriction.

Myocardial ischaemia is associated with referred pain, classically to the front of the chest, the left arm and the jaw.

Studies of the protective effect of ribose in myocardial ischaemia by using P31-nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy.

As with myocardial ischaemia referred pain in a certain portion of the body can lead to a diagnosis of the correct local center.

For example, the second coronary occlusion during the course of coronary angioplasty results in less evidence of myocardial ischaemia than the first.

In individuals who have an underlying cardiac disorder a binge on alcohol increases the risk of silent myocardial ischaemia as well as angina.

There was no ECG evidence of myocardial ischaemia despite symptoms of chest tingling and tightness.

He was interested in the pathomechanism and pharmacological prevention of cardiac arrhythmias and the consequences of myocardial ischaemia.

Concerns have also been expressed about the possibility of graft occlusions and increased myocardial ischaemia, especially in patients undergoing myocardial revascularisation.

CMR perfusion is increasingly used in cardiology to test for inducible myocardial ischaemia and has been well validated against other imaging modalities.

If the occlusion is in the coronary artery, myocardial ischaemia is likely to occur, whereby cardiac myocytes cannot function properly due to lack of oxygen.

Several years ago it would have been incomprehensible for a rational scientist or physician to conclude that myocardial ischaemia might somehow act to protect the heart from necrosis.

Rupture of atheromatous plaque leads to occlusive thrombosis that produces myocardial ischaemia and cell death leading to loss of ventricular function and possibly death.

For example, with a healed myocardial infarction, abnormal cells can be exposed to an abnormal environment such as with a myocardial infarction with myocardial ischaemia.

In conditions such as myocardial ischaemia, possible mechanism of arrhythmia generation include the resulting decreased internal K concentration, the increased external K concentration, norepinephrine release and acidosis.

The exercise test is also useful in looking for other markers of myocardial ischaemia: blood pressure response (or lack thereof, particularly a drop in systolic pressure), dysrhythmia and chronotropic response.

Szekeres L, Udvary E, Vegh A. Nifedipine effects in severe myocardial ischaemia in the dog due to left anterior descending coronary occlusion with left circumflex coronary artery constriction.

However, the main disadvantage in the use of tubocurarine is its significant ganglion-blocking effect, that manifests as hypotension, in many patients; this constitutes a relative contraindication to its use in patients with myocardial ischaemia.

MINAP has recently changed its name from the Myocardial Infarction National Audit Database to the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project to reflect the importance of all acute coronary syndromes.

The indication for transplantation for the 18 patients surviving in the short term was ischaemic heart muscle disease in 11 patients, dilated cardiomyopathy in six, including two with puerperal cardiomyopathy, and transient myocardial ischaemia with poor left ventricular function in one.

'William M. Jennings Trophy' 'Ischaemic' or 'ischemic heart disease' (IHD), or 'myocardial ischaemia', is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the myocardium, usually due to Coronary heart disease (atherosclerosis of the coronary artery).
