ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, stenting of the infarct-related coronary artery, silent (painless) ischemia, diabetes mellitus, 24-hour electrocardiographic monitoring.
 Introduction. Currently, approximately 422 million people in world have and over 1.3 individuals Ukraine are diagnosed with mellitus. Diabetic neuropathy is known to contribute development atypical painless var...

This study was carried out to determine the risk of new ischemic events, demonstrated by diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in patients undergoing diagnostic conventional cerebral angiogram. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Current Contents, Cochrane Central, Expert Files, and bibliographies included articles were systematically searched identify prospective studies that reported MRI findin...

Background There is evidence that myocardial ischemia in patients with diabetes mellitus is often present without the exhibition of symptoms. Moreover, recent data suggests that silent ischemia is associated with occurrence of cardiac events and poor outcome. Aim of our study was to determine the prognostic value of a reversible perfusion deficit assessed by adenosine perfusion cardiac magnetic...

Trimetazidine acting as a metabolic agent reduces symptomatic and silent ischemia – the total ischemic burden. Its cellular action in improving myocardial metabolism is cardioprotective and may explain the improvement in left ventricular function seen in the failing heart as a result of its use. The metabolic approach to myocardial ischemia is becoming increasingly important, with symptomatic a...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) accounts for 65% to 80% of deaths in diabetic patients. The merits of screening asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients for either (A) the presence of coronary atherosclerosis by imaging of coronary calcification using cardiac computed tomography or (B) silent ischemia by stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) remain controversial. Some observers have advocated fo...
