- 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.
you shouldn't really feel much if you have an epidural (thats the point) that being said with an epidural you do have an increase risk of tearing because you cannot feel anything and may push baby out faster then your body is stretching(so if you dont have a great/patient dr that will guide you threw that part it could be bad) and typically you tear less then what they might cut you.
I felt the same way and had anemia but I went through with it without epidural. I had heard about bad side effects to it. I'm pregnant again and almost due, also anemia but I wont do epidural. At the end of the day it would be your choice but I think you would do just fine.
A friend of mine was able to get the epidural with scoliosis. Ask your doctor to make sure, but you should be able to.
I've had a terrible pregnancy, so I am very much looking forward to my epidural and pain medication. I've had an epidural before for a different kind if surgery and it was perfectly safe and quick. I feel like I am super close to my baby and don't need to go completely natural to feel closer haha. Too much pain already!
An epidural? Why would I want an epidural I'm not in labour?
I understand where you're coming from except the epidural part. I want to labor at home as long as possible because I hate the hospital. Except I don't want an epidural and I feel like this will help me with that. The closest I've seen contractions get and still be able to make it to the hospital was 2 minutes apart I don't want to go that far because I don't wanna pop in the car. I also have medical issues with me though so I have to have a hospital birth.
