Diagnostic Value of Ankle Brachial Index for Myocardial Ischemia in Asymptomatic Diabetic Patients and Comparison with Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Objective: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) as a simple test which can detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Therefore in this study we try to evaluate the diagnostic value of ABI for silent myocardial ischemia in diabetic patients and compare the results with myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) results. Materials and Methods: All 149 diabetic patients in this study were categorized according...
متن کاملAsymptomatic myocardial ischaemia in HIV-infected adults.
BACKGROUND Asymptomatic ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in HIV-infected patients has not been studied. METHODS Resting, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) were evaluated for asymptomatic IHD (Q-wave and/or ST segment depression) at baseline from HIV-infected participants with no known IHD enrolling in the SMART study. The ECG recordings were standardized and centrally analysed. Factors associated...
متن کاملIncreased carotid artery intimal-medial thickness in asymptomatic older subjects with exercise-induced myocardial ischemia.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown an association between symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) and increased intimal-medial thickness of the common carotid artery (CCA IMT), a purported index of atherosclerosis. This study determines whether CCA IMT is increased in asymptomatic older subjects with an ischemic ST-segment response to treadmill exercise. METHODS AND RESULTS CCA IMT was ...
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) ...
متن کاملTenderness over the hyoid bone can indicate epiglottitis in adults.
Adult acute epiglottitis is a rare but life-threatening disease caused by obstruction of the airway. The symptoms and signs of this disease may be nonspecific without apparent airway compromise. We encountered 3 consecutive cases of adult patients with this disease in a single 5-month period in one physician's office. In all cases, physical examination revealed tenderness of the anterior neck o...
