The principles of drug therapy for myocardial ischemia in elderly patients are the same as those for younger patients. The physician treating elderly patients, however, must be aware that the ...

In some instances, T wave changes might suggest specific conditions, such as peaked T waves in hyperkalemia or symmetric T wave inversions during myocardial ischemia. But what about all the other ...

In a recent study, Duke Medical School researchers asked 58 patients with myocardial ischemia, a painful condition of insufficient blood flow to the heart, to wear heart monitors for 48 hours.

A distinction should be made between myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction. Ischemia means that the amount of blood supplied to the tissue is inadequate to supply the needs of the tissue.

Type 1 diabetes was associated with less myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, stroke, and limb ischemia than type 2 diabetes when analyzed by separate cardiovascular events.

The physical examination findings during STEMI are similar to those of stable angina, unstable angina and non-STEMI, although frequently more dramatic due to the larger proportion of ischemic ...

Maintaining mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) integrity is crucial for cardiomyocyte function, and its disruption plays a significant role in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
