Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is more prevalent among women and is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Among women with symptoms and signs of ischemia enrolled in the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE), a relatively high mortality rate was observed in those with no obstructive ...
Symptomatic myocardial bridges: Overview of ischemic mechanisms and current diagnostic and treatment strategies Investigational tools now available in the cardiac catheterization laboratory have helped clarify why symptoms and signs of ischemia can occur in such patients...

The response of left ventricular function to ischemia is monotonous and independent of the employed stress [1]. The same echocardiographic signs can be found in transient ischemia and acute infarction. The difference is in the time sequence, and from an echocardiographic viewpoint myocardial ischemia...
More common symptoms of coronary heart disease include: palpitations (a sensation of rapid or very strong heartbeats in your chest), dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting, and weakness on exertion or at rest, irregular heartbeat (arryhmia). Silent ischemia is a condition in which no symptom...

Detection of intestinal ischemia in patients with acute small-bowel obstruction due to adhesions or hernia: efficacy of CT. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to determine whether CT can be used to diagnose ischemia of the small intestine in patients with small-bowel obstr... D Frager ...
Low oxygen levels or lack of oxygen, leading to insufficient air available to the lungs. It can occur due to high altitude, closed breathing space, etc. Asthma and other disorders of the lungs, heart, or brain can also cause hypoxic ischemia (inadequate blood supply). Anemic hypoxia: Decre...

*It is often worth clarifying with the patient the normal position of their testes in their scrotum (i.e. which testis normally sits higher) The TWIST Score The TWIST score (Testicular Workup for Ischemia and Suspected Torsion) is increasingly being used to differentiate between patients who re...
