Symptomatic hemorrhage after alteplase therapy not due to silent ischemia
BACKGROUND Stroke thrombolysis-related intracerebral hemorrhage may occur remotely from the anatomical site of ischemia. One postulated mechanism for this is simultaneous multiple embolization with hemorrhage into a "silent" area of ischemia. RESULTS A patient suffered a disabling stroke affecting the right cerebral hemisphere. He was treated with intravenous alteplase and underwent extensive...
متن کاملAngina pectoris without chest pain: clinical implications of silent ischemia.
We may never know whether the accuracy of William Heberden’s description in the 1770s of a new syndrome, centering around pain in the left chest and named by him “angina pectoris,” occurred because the author himself experienced the symptoms described.1 Heberden’s description of the symptoms has prevailed for centuries, as if it were written in stone. Decades later, this “pain in the chest” was...
متن کاملStable angina pectoris: the medical management of symptomatic myocardial ischemia.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality and is a serious public health problem. Over the last 4 decades there have been dramatic advances in the both the prevention and treatment of CAD. The management of CAD was revolutionized by the development of effective surgical and percutaneous revascularization techniques. In this review we discuss the importa...
متن کاملPrognosis of silent myocardial ischemia and its strategy for treatment.
chest pain group. 3) Effective treatment: The efficacy of three standard antianginal drugs on silent myocardial ischemia was studied in 43 patients with EA using Holter monitoring. Antianginal drugs used were long-acting isosorbide dinitrate 40-80 mg/day for nitrates (17 patients), diltiazem 90-180 mg/day for calcium antagonists (13 patients), propranolol 30-60 mg/day or metoprolol 60-120 mg/da...
متن کاملSilent myocardial ischemia during ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring in patients with effort angina.
The frequency and characteristics of asymptomatic ischemic attacks were investigated in 39 patients with effort angina. During 24 hour Holter monitoring, 32 of the 39 patients displayed one or more episodes of ischemic ST depression. Eight patients had attacks (n = 25) always accompanied by pain; 9 patients had only asymptomatic ischemic episodes (n = 40) and 15 patients had both symptomatic (n...
