Silent myocardial ischemia screening in patients with diabetes mellitus.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is fairly increasing, especially in the developing countries. Diabetes is a major cardiovascular risk factor; it often leads to severe cardiovascular complications, and coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of death in diabetic patients. Silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) is more frequent in diabetic patients. The progress made in detection and treatm...
متن کاملSilent myocardial ischemia in patients with diabetes mellitus.
50 patients with diabetes were compared with 20 non-diabetic subjects, with respect to the prevalence of silent myocardial ischemia, by means of treadmill exercise testing. Results of treadmill exercise testing showed ischemia in 14 of the 50 diabetic patients (mean age 49.2 * 1.3) and in 2 of 20 non-diabetic control subjects (mean age 49 * 6 y.) (28%VS lo%, P < 0.05). Diabetics with “positive ...
متن کاملDetection of myocardial ischemia in patients with diabetes mellitus.
The combination of clinical coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus is a harbinger of adverse outcome. Recently, in a jointly issued statement, the American Diabetes Association, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the American Heart Association indicated th...

Silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) is defined as the presence of objective evidence of myocardial ischemia in the absence of chest discomfort or other anginal equivalents. Most silent ischemic episodes occur during minimal or no physical exertion. The exact reasons for the development of angina during some episodes of myocardial ischemia and the absence of symptoms during other episodes are not k...
متن کاملApplication of Anatomical and Functional Modalities in Detection of Silent Myocardial Ischemia in Asymptomatic Diabetic Patients- A Review Article
Cardiovascular disease (CAD) screening in asymptomatic patients with diabetes mellitus is controversial. An exercise stress test is a safe and effective initial testing for Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) screening. Treadmill stress test is not the best screening method for a particular patient who is not able to exercise, abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) or positive exercise treadmill test (ETT) ...
