SummaryObjective: To evaluate the occurrence of variables detecting myocardial ischemia during or after dental treatment under anesthesia with vasoconstrictor (epinephrine).Methods: vasoconstrictor were included. They were divided into two groups (by drawing envelopes): group I (27 patients) using echocardiogram before and after dental intervention, and determination of biochemical markers (CK-MB mass, CK-MB pressure were also measured in the pre, post-anesthesia and post-dental extraction phases. Doppler echocardiography assessed left ventricular segmental contractility and the occasional occurrence of mitral regurgitation. The usual pharmaceutical treatment prescribed by the cardiologist was maintained in all cases.Results: other patients in group I had CK-MB mass elevation, and ischemia was not observed in any other case, as assessed by or mitral regurgitation were observed in the study.
Conclusion:ischemic risks, as long as performed with good anesthetic technique and maintenance of the pharmacological treatment prescribed by the cardiologist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
