Reports on computed tomography (CT) scanning, which uses X-ray machines to take multiple, layered pictures of the heart and surrounding blood vessels. Discussion of the advantages of CT scanning which, in some cases, can help patients avoid the surgery needed to perform an angiogram; How CT ...
At the hospital, the health care team will work quickly to unblock your LAD. They may perform procedures such as: Coronary angioplasty and stents.This procedure can be done during a catheterization. The doctor uses a thin tube (catheter) inserted into your artery to expand a balloon. This wi...
Dr. Beasley:It may also be a combination of some other disease modalities—venous, sciatica, neuropathy. It’s hard to gauge what is really pain. Figuring out if it’s truly arterial is a diagnostic conundrum. I would proceed to do an angiogram and then determine if there was somethi...
This image offers an unsurpassed illustration of the coronary microcirculation, contrasting starkly with the lack of microcirculatory information on the invasive coronary angiogram (30). (B) This schematic illustrates compartmentalized physiological assessment according to the probes acetylcholine and adenosine...
Patients with arthritis and previous heart conditions cannot always endure to perform the exercise stress test. For such patients, the doctors often recommend chemical stress test or a chemical nuclear stress test. Know what is a chemical stress test, ho
When deciding whether to perform a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) before TAVR, it is important to consider integrated management of the case. This includes reducing the risk of ischemic events associated with valve replacement, especially when rapid pacing is needed, and ensuring that the ...
To diagnose a lacunar stroke, your doctor may order a CT angiogram. In this test, doctors put dye into your blood vessels so they can see them in the scan. They can then diagnose atherosclerosis and see blockages. They may also order aMRI, which is considered the most accurate imaging te...
