Pauly DF, Johnson BD, Anderson RD et al (2011) In women with symptoms of cardiac ischemia, non-obstructive coronary arteries, and microvascular dysfunction, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition is associated with improved microvascular function: a double-blind randomized study from the National ...
Wei J, Mehta PK, Shufelt C, Yang Y, Gill E, Kahlon R, et al. Diastolic dysfunction measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in women with signs and symptoms of ischemia but no obstructive coronary artery disease.Int J Cardiol 2016; 28(220):775-780....
It can reveal several different heart problems, including ischemia, heart attacks, rhythm disorders, long-standing strain on the heart from high blood pressure, and certain valve problems. It gives clues as to the underlying cause of cardiac symptoms. The test takes just a few minutes. You lie...
Cardiac vagal control An index of parasympathetic contribution to cardiac regulation. Cardiac index The volume of blood pumped by the heart in a minute per body surface. Stroke volume index The volume of blood pumped by the heart with each beat per body surface. Vascular resistance index An inde...
The diagnosis of angina is made by the history of the patient. If the story that the patient tells is suggestive of cardiac ischemia (cardiac= heart + ischemia= decreased blood supply), then the health care practitioner will continue on the path to determine whether a heart attack has occurre...
Cardiac catheterization:You might need cardiac catheterization, also called cardiac cath, during the first hours of a heart attack if medications aren’t helping with the ischemia or symptoms. The cardiac cath can give an image of the blocked artery and help your doctor decide on a treatment. ...
In diabetes, the blood flow to the nerves is limited, leaving the nerves without blood flow, and they get damaged or die as a result (a term known as ischemia). Symptoms of diabetic nerve damage include numbness, burning, and aching of the feet and lower extremities. When the nerve ...
Cardiac catheterization:You might need cardiac catheterization, also called cardiac cath, during the first hours of a heart attack if medications aren’t helping with the ischemia or symptoms. The cardiac cath can give an image of the blocked artery and help your doctor decide on a treatment. ...
Cardiac catheterization If your doctor chooses to do this more complex procedure, a very thin tube called a catheter is put into one of your blood vessels and guided to your heart. Then dye is put into the tube so your doctor can see your blood vessels better and check for blockages. ...
This lesson defines the concept of ischemia. Then you'll learn the major reasons for why it might occur and the signs and symptoms of various...
