Identifying Which Treated Hypertensive Patients Without Known Coronary Artery Disease Should Be Tested for the Presence of Myocardial Ischemia by Perfusion Imaging

Abstract

1,2 in addition, the concomitant presence of hypertension and other atherogenic risk factors (arfs) such as diabetes mellitus (Dm) and dyslipidemia increases the risk of caD. 3 myocardial ischemia has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction (mi) and sudden death in a wide range of patient groups. 4 identification of patients at high risk is thus important for the selection of optimal management strategy in these patients.5 myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) is an established method for diagnosing and assessing the risk and prognosis of patients with suspected or known caD mostly in Dm. [6][7][8] in a pooled analysis of 39,173 patients with a normal perfusion scan obtained by single photon emission computed tomography (specT) mpi, the annual event rate of cardiac death or mi was 0.6%. in contrast, in studies including 65,655 patients with abnormal results on mpi, the annual event rate was 5.9% per year. studies on the prevalence and severity of abnormal mpi findings in treated hypertensive patients are lacking.The aims of the present cross-sectional study were 3-fold: (1) to provide data on the prevalence

Coronary Artery Disease Prevalence in Patients Having Essential Hypertension with Or Without Diabetes Mellitus Detected by Cardiac MIBI Scan

“…[6,7] . Diabetes mellitus has been found as an independent risk factor for CAD, irrespective of the fact whether other risk factors are present or absent [8] Our results are similar to those of Lacourciere et al [9] . They conducted MPS in 1116 hypertensive patients without known coronary artery disease (CAD), and found CAD in 28.9% of patients.…”

Frequence Des Complications De L’hypertension Arterielle Chez Les Patients Suivis En Milieu Cardiologique A Parakou En 2016

“…L'ischémie myocardique silencieuse était la forme prédominante (83,3%). Lacourcière et al au Canada en 2007 avaient noté également dans leur étude que l'ischémie silencieuse était fréquente (28,9%) chez les patients hypertendus (Lacourcière, 2007). Mais leur fréquence relativement inférieure à la notre pourrait s'expliquer par la méthode de dépistage utilisée.…”
