The detection of silent ischemia: cautions and precautions.
THERE IS NOW convincing evidence that myocardial ischemia may occur in the absence of symptoms.' This phenomenon, which has acquired the label "silent ischemia," is receiving considerable attention as a factor with potential prognostic significance in the management of coronary artery disease. Basic to an understanding of silent ischemia, its prevalence, precipitating factors, significance as a...
متن کاملSerologic Detection of Helicobacter pylori Infection and the Required Cautions
Introduction: Helicobacter pylori, as an etiologic cause of peptic ulcers and gastric cancer, should be tested and treated. The true state of infection can only be detected by isolation of gastric biopsies through the invasive method of gastroscopy. However, there are several non-invasive methods for detection of infection, the most common of which is serology. Methods: Here we have evaluated t...
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 کاملSilent Ischemia
Myocardial ischemia can occur without overt symptoms. In fact, asymptomatic (or silent) ST-segment depression during ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring occurs more often than symptomatic ST-segment depression in patients with coronary artery disease. Initial studies documented that silent ischemia provided independent prediction of adverse outcomes in patients with known and unknown corona...
متن کاملDetection of silent myocardial ischemia: is it clinically relevant?
Silent myocardial ischemia is defined as objective documentation of myocardial ischemia in the absence of angina or anginal equivalents. The first description of silent ischemia date to the 1970s, but despite intensive investigation, its pathophysiology, detection, prevalence, and clinical significance are still debated. The need and the benefit of treating silent ischemia, particularly in pati...
