dipyridamole and pregnancy

- 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.

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 have no clue what my number are, but during my annual physical, it was determined that my RBC count was horrible high and was diagnosed with Polycythaemia. The recommended treatment is phlebotomies.(sp) I just don't know. I am worried about the clotting factor due to the fact I have had one TIA (mini stroke) and then another one that was not so mini! The phlebotomy seems so primitive, like leaching, but if it works,......

Patients with a lupus anticoagulant are prone to excess bleeding, repeated miscarriages, thrombosis and strokes. Patients with a lupus anticoagulant that presents atleast twice and a history of thrombosis should be given indefinite treatment with anticoagulants. Thrombosis can be prevented with heparin administration and treated with heparin and warfarin. If clots occur heparin followed by warfarin ( coumadin )is usually prescribed. Higher-than-usual doses of warfarin may be needed.

I was diagnosed with BPH a year ago and was given Flomax. I had to go to Iceland and forgot my Flomax. My friend was taking a local product available over the counter called SAGAPRO made from a herb called Angelica. I used it and to my suprise...it worked. It even works better than Flomax! Do you know why this herb is so good for the prostate? Are their any side effects....I have noticed I am breathing better and also sleeping better. I have not used my inhaler since I have been on the sagapro.

If pregnancy occurs, progesterone is produced in the placenta, and levels remain elevated throughout the pregnancy. The combination of high estrogen and progesterone levels suppresses further ovulation during pregnancy. Progesterone also encourages the growth of milk-producing glands in the breast during pregnancy. High progesterone levels are believed to be partly responsible for symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as breast tenderness, feeling bloated, and mood swings.

), but usually with supportive care (physiotherapy and occupational therapy) and secondary prevention with antiplatelet drugs (aspirin and often dipyridamole), blood pressure control, statins and anticoagulation (in selected patients). you could further information on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke. Hope you find this information helpful.

It is possible (and not real uncommon) to have tachy and brady without diagnostic drugs. In fact, those who have tachy-brady syndrome can experience both tachy and brady within seconds.

I quit smoking in 1979, and have been a vegetarian since 1972, limited eggs and dairy products. I walk a lot and ride my bike sometimes. Water would be very good. Does the Stress test in your opinion confirm that I did have a MI ? I know it sure felt like what one would feel like. I am having a hard time with the Angina now if that is what they are, because they occur out of the blue with no warning.

did you tell your doctor you're late?

Of these, Free T3 is the most important because Free T3 largely regulates metabolism and many other body functions. (note that Free T3 and T4 are not the same as Total T3 and T4). From just looking at your lab results in light of my experience, I see nothing there to be alarmed about. Your Free T3 is above the midpoint of its range and Free T4 is also within range, though it is in the lower quarter of the range.

However this does not happen in early pregnancy. Also pregnancy cannot be diagnosed based on symptoms only. If periods are missed then a pregnancy test can be taken. Serum HCG levels and an ultrasound scan will help confirmation of pregnancy. Hope this helps.

I learned I had PCOS at a early age, I was 16 (currently 31 yrs old) I had started my periods when I was 11 and then by the age of 16 I had nothing! was put on the pill to regulate but since I wasn't sexually active at the time I forgot to take them all the time. Got back on the pill at 18, went off the pill at 26 (2006). Continued to have a period that first yr off the pill. Then 3 times a year, and then nothing from 2008 - 2009.
