A new analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial reveals its results are highly contingent on how myocardial infarction is defined, with investigators reporting a significant treatment difference between the ...

Sir, you are no longer a maverick. We should have listened to you. It took over 40 years, but today, at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2019, we learned that you were right to ...

A key lesson one can learn from experience in designing clinical trials is that the devil is often in the details. Trial design is equally as important as—if not more important than—trial execution.

Mesenteric ischemia is caused by blood flow that is insufficient to meet the metabolic demands of the visceral organs. The severity of ischemia and the type of organ involved depend on the affected ...

Ischemia is when there is a blockage of blood flow to a part of the body. Ischemia can lead to serious problems like heart attack and stroke. Risk factors for ischemia include poor circulation, high ...

Myocardial ischemia is a drop in blood flow to the heart. Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, occurs when death or damage occurs in the muscle tissue of the heart due to low blood supply. The ...

An acute MI may be the initial clinical manifestation of CAD in elderly persons, although many elderly persons experience myocardial ischemia for years prior to an acute MI. Unfortunately, due to the ...

Ischemic colitis reduces blood flow to the colon or large intestine. Mesenteric ischemia is a reduction in blood flow to the small intestine due to the narrowing of the arteries. Both conditions are ...

Transient ischemic attacks TIAs are defined as a temporary episode of neurologic dysfunction secondary to focal brain or retinal ischemia without evidence of acute infarction. This definition has been ...

Ischemic colitis and mesenteric ischemia are both types of bowel ischemia. Ischemic colitis refers to reduced blood flow to the large intestine, while mesenteric ischemia happens due to reduced blood ...

Mesenteric artery ischemia is a condition that restricts blood flow to your intestines. Three main arteries, called the mesenteric arteries, supply blood to your small and large intestines. Narrowing ...
