Acute Hypoglycemia Decreases Myocardial Blood Flow Reserve in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and in Healthy Humans

, 2011
Background-: Hypoglycemia is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, but the reason for this association is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that the myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR) is decreased during hypoglycemia using ...

Modern Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Meta‐Analysis of CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Recent randomized trials (CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2) have compared carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy [CEA] or carotid artery stenting [CAS]) plus contemporary medical therapy (CMT) versus CMT alone in asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Adenosine‐Induced Coronary Steal Is Observed in Patients Presenting With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Adenosine is used to treat no‐reflow in the infarct‐related artery (IRA) during ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction intervention. However, the physiological effect of adenosine in the IRA is variable. Coronary steal—a reduction of blood

Effect of Plaque Burden and Morphology on Myocardial Blood Flow and Fractional Flow Reserve [PDF]

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
Atherosclerotic plaque characteristics may affect downstream myocardial perfusion, as well as coronary lesion severity.This study sought to evaluate the association between quantitative plaque burden and plaque morphology obtained using coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and quantitative myocardial perfusion obtained using [15O]H2O positron

Metoprolol does not effect myocardial fractional flow reserve in patients with intermediate coronary stenoses

, 2007
Objective: Myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR) is utilized to determine the hemodynamic significance of coronary stenoses. We sought to determine the effect, if any, of metoprolol on FFR in patients with coronary stenoses of intermediate ...
