A stress test, also known as an exercise stress test or treadmill test, is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate how well your heart functions during physical activity. It provides valuable information about your heart's response to stress and helps detect potential abnormalities or underlying hea...
The fear of lawsuits extended to the case scenario in which the stress test results did not match the coronary lesions. One participant said, “Now you're stuck [laughs]. I pursue this for legal reasons, and I feel that if something happens to this person, even if it's breast artifact...
Subjects were categorized on the basis of symptoms and resting ECG findings as one of the following: asymptomatic intermittent WPW, asymptomatic persistent WPW, or symptomatic WPW. The performance and results of diagnostic testing, including Holter monitor, event monitor, exercise stress test (EST), ...
then thrombolysis, and currently, acute PCI care for STEMI. But now, the overwhelming majority of decisions in cardiology are preference sensitive. The preference-sensitive decision is one where multiple paths exist, each with different trade-offs and one not more right than the other...
Herein, we discuss the definition of POTS, as well as the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, history, physical findings, evaluation, management, and prognosis of POTS, on the basis of the available literature. What is POTS? POTS is a heterogeneous syndrome with multiple possible etiologies ...
While it is hard to extrapolate the findings of these 35 old female rats used in this study to humans, there is still a lesson to be learned here. By getting the old sedentary female rats to start running for 15 minutes 4 days of the week on a rat treadmill their brain function improv...
Common laboratory findings in hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19 include lymphopenia, neutrophilia, and elevations of serum amino-transaminases, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK) and other inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, ferritin and erythrocyte...
Sometimes more pathogenic mechanisms can coexist: Dalzell and Samuel describe a case of 5-FU cardiotoxicity where symptoms and instrumental findings cannot be explained either by coronary spasm or by myocarditis alone [48]. A 5-FU induced increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) has also been ...
Left ventricular hypertrophy, reduced kidney function, microalbuminuria, increased carotid intima-media thickness and abnormal brain imaging findings had an intermediate prevalence (20–40%) [34]. Different from ABI, that is, linked to atherosclerotic disease, pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the most ...
