One study found that taking 2 grams three times daily of vitamin C can decrease this effect when nitroglycerin patches are simultaneously used.2 Similar benefits have been confirmed in another study.3 However, it should be noted that it is also possible to avoid tolerance to these drugs by simply changing the dosing schedule. People taking ISMN or nitroglycerin should talk with their pharmacists about avoiding drug tolerance.
I change dosing schedules!
Hi I am 34 Year old , I had an Acute inferior MI on May - 4 at around 8.00 pm last and there was complete blockage in RCA, on 5th May 2007 around 1.00 am my Echo was done and my ECHO showed LVEF = 35% with LA Dilated, I later got a stent implanted in my RCA. I want to know if this LVEF = 35% and LA dilated was due to MI and if LVEF is improved after stent is implanted or if any way by which it can be improved.
However, the doctor said I had a right sided aortic arch and kinks in my left main artery with an inferior to superior take off. He said this was abnormal.
In my records it also showed she has S1, S2 and a 1/6 systolic ejection murmur with some radiation to her carotids bilaterally.
Is my nuclear test just disregarded? Why did the nitro work? Could this so called abnormality be causing my chest pain? Why the fraction fluctuations?
Don't wait. I have been through many caths. They aren't a big deal and it is the only difinitive way for a Doctor to tell. Because the actually see the issue. Most caths are done on simple out patient procedure and if everthing is OK then go on the vacation stress free. Don't gamble with your life. Take it from a guy who had a sudden death heart attack at 37. Another MI at 38 and ended up with 7 stents. I had stress tests, 3d cat scans of my heart, ekgs, echocardiograms.
57 female overweight but active had ECG which showed Inferior infarct age undetermined
Being scheduled for more investigations Holter test and ultra sound
Question please explain what this condition is and how can one have a heart attack with being aware of it?
Worried concerned and confused

m no doctor) frequent VPCs (PVCs) are a worrying finding in the setting of acute MI. The question is if your heart is damaged from your MI, or if it has recovered well. In the setting of structural heart disease, PVCs can trigger a sustained tachycardia due to what is called a "re-entry phenomena" causing the PVC to "loop" and fire several PVCs in a row/salvo, possible triggering more dangerous arrhythmias.
47 yo male, hx of CAD and MI at age of 39 with stent placed in pda (8/03). In (7/05), Nuc study revealed small area of ischemia and global hypokinesis in inferior wall. Now, 12/2010- EF of 48 percent with inf wall hypokinesis to akinesis. Data demonstrates large inferior wall perfusion defect which is predominately fixed. There is a small amount of reversibility at edges, in particular, inferolateral and inferoseptal wall that may be consistent with peri infarct ischemia.
s more the fact that my cardiologist said she saw problems on the inferior and left lateral part of my heart muscle, with suspicion of an MI (had to be a silent one as I haven't had a full on major MI) which caused her to give me the choice of either the cardiac catheterization - she did say that was the gold standard - or a CTA.
My husband passed away 2yrs ago from a inferior wall mi in his sleep, when I got up he went into what seemed like convaultions and quit breathing. It took 15 mins for the ambulance to arrive and they worked on him for 15 mins before they got him back. He continued to have siezures and had to keep him heavily sedated cause siezure meds alone did not work. My step daughters seem to think that over time his brain could have repaired it's self. My? Is.
Fixed Apical/Inferoseptal Defect with Prior MI in the LAD or RCA distribution; no stree defect, mild LV enlargement, Inferior/septal hypokinesia, LVEF 56%. I was sent to a cardiologist for a cath which came back with a normal left coronary system and 20% irregularity at the sheperd's crook. Ejection 55%. Risk considered low by the cardiologist.
i am a 66-year-old man with recent inferior wall MI and following are my angiography details:
left main: normal bifurcates into LAD and LCx
LAD: type III vessel shows two tandem proximal 40% stenosis followed by 80% stenosis.
LCx: nondominant vessel and is normal.
RCA: dominant vessel and shows 75% stenosis immediately after RV branch and 40% stenosis before bifurcation of PDA and PLV.
renals: normal
LIMA/RIMA: normal.
My husband had an inferior MI in July, with stent placement for 100% occluded RCA. No prior symptoms. No BP issues, normal weight prior. Initial recovery unremarkable, except for hypotension. Placed on Brilinta and low dose aspirin, no beta blocker due to low BP. Dizziness started September. Did 48 hour holter monitor test, reported normal. By November, dizziness worsening and extreme fatigue with weight gain of 26# since MI. Placed on 20 mg Lasix, increased to 40 mg, no weight loss.
