- Should this isotope testing be done after catheterization? What new infromation could be gained from that?
- Since adenosine or dobutamine be used as stimulants, what kind of danger could it be? I read some articles on PubMed saying that adenosine/dobutamine can cause things from AV block to ventricular fibrillation.
Persantine is dipyridamole, but you will have to get extended release tablets as the two asprin and dipyridamole should not be taken together. Don’t change the medications without discussing with your doctor. So, consult him and then decide.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
What is nonreversible apical inferior wall and what does it mean when they say no dipyridamole-induced reversible ischemia .there is mild defect in the apical inferior wall that is not reversible at rest.
Some of the alternatives include aspirin, Clopidogrel (Plavix), ticlodipine (Ticlid), dipyridamole (Persantine). Another alternative is Heparin injection. Different situations require different levels of anticoagulation. It is important to discuss the best treatment option with a physician.
I suffered a mild stroke (blood clot) Consultant prescribed Clopidogrel but cannot tolerate side effects. Then consultant prescribed Dipyridamole. I cannot tolerate this either. Severe headache, vomiting and diarrhoea. Has anybody got a different medication they are on?
ECG last month showed SVES, RBBB. This week he has stress test with dipyridamole protocol, and injection of thallium-201. The result showed "evidence of mild, small to medium size, irreversible perfusion defect in the inferior/inferolateral wall (mid to basal level)." Could you explain what this means? Does he need to have surgery or pacemaker? thanks in advance for your help.
I looked at the package and ASASANTIN is a brand name for DIPYRIDAMOLE/ASPIRIN.
Thought I would clarify that.
While myocardial perfusion imaging greatly enhances the sensitivity and specificity of exercise testing, false positive and negative results are known to occur. False negative imaging is especially common when exercise is submaximal or in dipyridamole/adenosine studies of patients with severe obstructions of all three major coronary vessels. False positive scanning may be caused by signal attenuation from an elevated left hemidiaphragm or from breast tissue.

Reversible perfusion defect is an area of the heart muscle that does not receive an adequate amount of blood at stress (ischemia) but does so at rest (reversible ischemia). Here the muscle can be saved and the areas identified are infero-septal and apical segment. After identifying the defects a cardiac catheterization helps to study the arterial structure of the heart and to identify the blocks for further therapy. So, your doctor may next ask for cardiac catheterization.
I had asthma since I was five and it is getting worse and worse coz my chest and lungs is feeling really painful whenever I do sports and I no longer can do sports as long as I want now. Every time after I had asthma attack, I will either faint, dehydrated, lack of energy or feeling extremely dizzy which I can't even walk straight. These symptoms will at least last for two hours. Will I get anoxia or other sickness other then asthma?
We went to a homeopath who said that since both asthma and the burping are movements of air in the body, that they are related. He gave him some homeopathetic medicine which did relief the burping somewhat, but after he stopped taking it, the problem returned just as bad.
The burping is worse during episodes of asthma and whenever he drinks cow's milk. Dairy has produced asthma attacks as well.
Any advice or ideas?
i am 22wks pregnant and have asthma.
I was diagnosed with asthma and copd~ but a breathing test proved otherwise and ultimately all my other doctor visits simply dismissed me as having anxiety/panic attacks and probably a hypocondriac. I was none of the above, my vitamin b12 was low as well as my vitamin d. These 2 vitamins quickly resolved my issue~hope it's something as simple as that for you. good luck and I suggest you do some research on symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.
I AM HAVING KNEE SURGERY AND MY DR PRES DARVOCET FOR PAIN AND I'VE TAKEN ONLY ONE BUT NOW HAVING PAIN WHEN I BREATHE IN MY BACK RIGHTSIDE IS THIS NORMAL
i do know that beta blockers are not for people with asthma, but i thought if anyone knows if i could take a low dose beta blocker for my anxiety and tachycardia and this low dose beta blocker would not affect my asthma too much. Currently, i am taking 2 mg. zoloft along with 1 mg. clonazepam up to 3 times a day as prescribed by my dr.
These used to keep my heart rate down to below 100, but now they are not working as good.
I am not a doctor but I have been living with asthma for more than thirty years and six years ago I was diagnosed with tachycardia. Take your medication for tachy on time if you are on medication, if not get to the nearest emergency room when you are having an attack. The same is true for an asthma attack. If you experience both at the same time, use your medication and go to the emergency room. If you are taking ventolin for asthma, you know that it may speed up your heart rate.
Any of you have both CM and asthma? Just wondering because my symptoms are so much worse when I have an asthma attack, like I did today. I was actually hyperventilating in my GPs office. It was awful! Now my head hurts and the numbness/tingling/weakness is worse than usual. I know there is not medical connection between the two, but the symptoms ARE connected and overlap and trigger each other. If anyone has any experience/ideas that I can try to help, I'd be glad to hear them!
Hi, I'd certainly have it checked out and when it's happening get a PFT test at your dr to ascertain if it's stemming from the lung and asthma. Just my two cents. WELCOME to the our Community. Maybe some others will jump on in too!
I only have asthma, but I have lots of relatives who have asthma and a number who have asthma and hypothyroid. I'm pretty sure it's all linked somewhere's at they both are a part of the autoimmune system. One of my cousins' has type 1 diabetes with thyroid and lately now has asthma too.
