چکیده
conclusions the prevalence of undiagnosed ihd in the hd patients was considerable. we, therefore, suggest that ihd be assessed in hd patients, especially those at high risk due to positive family history of cad, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, diabetes mellitus, kt/v < 1.2, low ferritin levels, and high levels of intact parathyroid hormone. results sixty-nine hd patients were studied using dipyridamole mpi with tc 99 m sestamibi. the mean age, body mass index, and mean duration of hd were 52.1 ± 13.8 years, 21.23 ± 4.79 kg/m2, and 48.2 ± 34.9 months, respectively. the patients were divided into two groups based on mpi: ihd-positive group (21.7%) and ihd-negative group (78.3%). ihd was more prevalent in the patients with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, positive family history of cad, low hd adequacy index (kt/v < 1.2), left ventricular hypertrophy, high intact parathyroid hormone levels, electrocardiographic abnormalities, and low ferritin levels. a statistically significant correlation was also detected between ihd and aging (p < 0.05). patients and methods in this cross-sectional descriptive study, hd patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected. demographic, clinical, and paraclinical data were obtained via interviews and medical records. bedside electrocardiography, resting echocardiography, and nuclear mpi with dipyridamole were done. the data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods for detecting the prevalence of undiagnosed ihd in the hd patients. the chi-square test and the independent t-test were used to identify the high-risk hd patients. objectives the aim of this study was to detect undiagnosed ischemic heart disease (ihd) using dipyridamole myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) in hd patients. background coronary artery disease (cad) is prevalent but very difficult to diagnose in hemodialysis (hd) patients compared with non-uremic individuals.

متن کاملMetabolic imaging Magnetic resonance perfusion imaging for detection of ischemic heart disease
In recent years, magnetic resonance first-pass perfusion imaging (MRPI) has developed from a research technique to a mature clinical application. Sufficient evidence has been presented to demonstrate that a high-quality MRPI scan is at least as good as a single photon emission computed tomography scan for the diagnosis of significant coronary artery disease. The ability of this new technique to...

Introduction: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We aimed to perform Lower Limb Perfusion Scan (LLPS) in patients referred for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) and estimate prevalence of PVD in subgroups with normal and abnormal MPI results. We also compared quantitative indices of LLPS in pati...
