Like gunk in a clogged drainpipe, this buildup prevents a free flow of blood through the arteries. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the heart. Myocardial ischemia is when your heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood, and it can lead to shortness of breath and chest pain (angina). Wi...

Learn about angina, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and the distinction between myocardial infarction and angina. Related to this QuestionWhat is a myocardial infarction (heart attack)? Give a full description. Explain how ischemia can cause a myocardial infarction. What are the causes of a m...
Since a negative stress CMR has good prognosis, there might be a subset within these patients (negative for ischemia or scar but positive for reduced CFR) that needs closer follow up and aggressive risk factor management. Where would CFR have any extra advantage over stress perfusion alone? A ...

3.1.2. Risk of Atherosclerosis and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in Patients with Acute Pancreatitis Sung et al. conducted a longitudinal analysis using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance database, which included 2607 patients newly diagnosed with acute pancreatitis from 2000 to 2008, along with 10...
Even though the mechanism by which miR-146a regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines remains unclear, there is a strong link between miR-146a and hyper-inflammatory processes observed in both SARS-CoV-2 and atherosclerosis. Therefore, disruption of the miR-146a/IL6 balance might ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy, along with fibrosis, results in systolic and diastolic dysfunction, which in combination with valve disease, myocardial ischemia, and conduction disorders, increases the risk of HF in FD. Although HF is more common in men with FD, women tend to have a longer mean ...
