Application 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 کاملThe PROMISE study: a clear promise for functional stress testing in patients with suspected coronary artery disease
tomical testing using CTA compared with functional testing among lowto intermediate-risk patients with chest pain suspicious for CAD. The primary hypothesis of the study was that the clinical outcomes in patients assigned to anatomical testing with the use of CTA would be superior to those in patients assigned to functional testing. A total of 10,003 lowto intermediate-risk patients with chest ...
متن کاملAcute and Long Term Outcomes of Coronary Intervention in Unprotected Left Main Lesions
Introduction : Significant left main coronary artery stenosis jeopardizes the entire myocardium of the left ventricle and has the worst prognosis of any form of coronary artery disease. Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been considered as the standard therapeutic approach for such patients. There are limited data on the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...
متن کاملChanges in Medical Therapy and Lifestyle After Anatomical or Functional Testing for Coronary Artery Disease
BACKGROUND Diagnostic testing in the care of patients newly presenting with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease may influence risk factor management, independent of test type or test results. However, little is known about changes in medications and lifestyle after anatomical or functional testing. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined what factors influenced preventive medical therapy a...
متن کاملUse of Carbon dioxide versus air blower in on-pump beating-heart coronary artery bypass surgery
Introduction: The use of carbon dioxide blower has been recognized as the standard of care in patients undergoing beating coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to higher solubility and lower risk of embolization. On the other hand, the compressed air blower has gone out of use since air can be easily trapped and is less soluble which can cause coronary embolism. The prese...
متن کاملComparison of Treatment Outcomes in Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Medical Therapy in Patients with Triple-vessel Coronary Artery Disease and Severe Ventricular Dysfunction
Introduction: Heart failure is a major hazard for public health. Despite recent advance in medical therapy, there is not enough information on the outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and medical therapy on the patients with severe ventricular dysfunction and triple-vessel (CAD). This study aimed to compare treatment outcomes and mortality rate in patients undergoing off-pump coro...
