Silent ischemia: unsafe at any time.

چکیده
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using balloon angioplasty with stenting has become a mainstay in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Over one million PCI procedures were performed in the U.S. alone in 2000, nearly one-half of which involved placement of a coronary stent (1). This number is expected to increase as more revascularization procedures that were previously thought to be surgical are now approached with angioplasty and stents.

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) ...

Myocardial infarction sequel of coronary artery diseases, can be sometimes asymptomatic, called silent myocardial infarction. Some risk factors predispose the patients to this condition. In this study, we intend to determine the predisposing factors in such patients.Methods and Materials: We included those patients with electrocardiogram changes, consistent with myocardial infarction, who had n...

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 کاملDetection of silent myocardial ischemia in asymptomatic patients with diabetes: results of a randomized trial and meta-analysis assessing the effectiveness of systematic screening
BACKGROUND Most guidelines recommend a systematic screening of asymptomatic high risk patients with diabetes for silent ischemia, but the clinical benefit of this strategy has not been demonstrated compared with the simple control of cardiovascular risk factors. We sought to determine whether referring asymptomatic diabetic patients for screening of silent ischemia decreases the risk of cardiov...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) has got a distinct association with coronary artery disease (CAD); and diabetic patients have 2-4 fold higher risk of developing CAD than people without DM [1]. However, progressive coronary artery disease remains asymptomatic in many cases of type 2 diabetes and this makes diagnosis difficult at proper time [2]. Routine screening of type 2 diabetics for asymptomat...
