Ischemia modified Albumin : A concept molecule for rapid diagnosis of ischemia by Dr. Sangareddi V. Medical Doctor Posted Sat 04 Sep 2010 8:28am In the diagnosis of ACS, we have definite bio  markers for acute MI . Further, ECG  has a good  spcecificity  for STEMI . While ,clinical and ECG features of ischemia are not perfect. A bio marker for ischemia is the ultimate dream of cardiologists  and  emergency room physicians. . In this context , the IMA -ischemia modifed albumin  has come Read on »
What are the types of ischemia that can be observed during excercise stress testing by Dr. Sangareddi V. Medical Doctor Posted Wed 30 Jun 2010 10:50am Exercise stress test is done  in two major situations. 1.In apparently normal individuals , to detect any hidden ischemia or to aid in the diagnosis of  chest pain before... obstructing the flow ? EST can give a clue. When interpreting the EST , we always set our mind to the “sole  concept of   inducible ischemia”  , but , in reality  the mechanism Read on »
PVD/PAD and Lower Limb Ischemia by Encompass Network Partners .. Posted Wed 18 Feb 2009 12:00am How prevalent is lower limb ischemia or "black toe" in the dialysis population? Who do you think is ultimately responsible for ordering and conducting monthly foot screens for dialysis patients in clinics? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts in the comment section. Read on »
What is Leg Ischemia? by Encompass Network Partners .. Posted Sun 14 Jun 2009 12:00am Leg ischemia is the condition when the leg does not receive the necessary amount of oxygen (via the blood circulation) that is required for the activity underway. How Do I Know if I Have Leg Ischemia? Ischemia of the lower extremities will manifest itself in many different ways ranging from asymptomatic (simply the presence of a blockage Read on »
How Do I Know if I Have Leg Ischemia? by Encompass Network Partners .. Posted Wed 14 Oct 2009 7:00pm Ischemia of the lower extremities will manifest itself in many different ways ranging from asymptomatic (simply the presence of a blockage) to gangrene of the leg or a part... to this blockage and will only know of the abnormality because their physician informs them of such! This is generally referred to as Fontaine’s Class I. The next “level” of ischemia Read on »
High Ischemia-Modified Albumin Concentration Reflects Oxidative Stress But Not Myocardial Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis by Jan Posted Thu 03 Dec 2009 11:14pm focal ischemia in the coronary microcirculation as a result of abnormal vasoreactivity, with or without associated structural vascular disease. The early and accurate identification of cardiac involvement is therefore of paramount clinical importance. The concentration of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), as measured by the albumin cobalt binding test Read on »
Ischemia-Reperfusion Models by Matt S. Posted Sat 19 Dec 2009 12:00am The study of AKI/ATN has relied heavily on one particular animal model: the warm ischemia-reflow model (often referred to as "ischemia-reperfusion injury"), in which one... in Kidney International by Heyman et al addresses some of the limitations of this model, mostly in terms of differences between the mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion and the typical Read on »
How to differentiate LV strain pattern from primary LV ischemia ? by Dr. Sangareddi V. Medical Doctor Posted Sat 12 Dec 2009 12:06am The most common ECG dilemmas one encounters is to differentiate between the ST segment depression and T wave inversion due to LVH from that of primary ischemia. Very... of ECG can help us to a great extent ! A rough and approximate way to identify primary ischemia is given below. Though these  humble ECG features may not be specific Read on »
If ischemia is a powerful trigger for ventricular arrhythmias ,Why cardiac arrhytmias are less common in NSTEMI ? by Dr. Sangareddi V. Medical Doctor Posted Sun 10 May 2009 10:43pm , if ischemia is a powerful trigger for dangerous ventricular  arrhythmia’s ,  NSTEMI should also behave  similarly . So what protects against arrhythmias in NSTEMI ? We realise ,  by observational experience (Not EBM !)  It is the suddenness and totality of ischemia that trigger dangerous form of arrhythmia  . Further, a balanced  ischemia in two contralateral Read on »
