These results are superior to those reported from whole chest ECG-gated CT examinations [2, 3], suggesting that a high-pitch scanning mode over the entire thorax does not preclude optimal opacification of the coronary arteries.
Routine and metastatic work up was done including complete blood examination (total blood count, platelet count), chest radiograph, ECG (Echocardiography when ECG had a positive finding), liver function tests, Bone Scan, USG abdomen, KFT (Kidney function tests).
Further diagnostic work-up included chest radiography, ECG, routine blood tests such as fasting lipid profile, fasting glucose and HbA1c.
82 For example, many patients with myocarditis present with chest pain, ECG abnormalities, elevated biomarkers, but normal coronary arteries.
In the absence of chest pain, ECG abnormalities, complex arrhythmias or critical blood pressure changes all tests were continued as symptom limited (volitional exertion, dyspnoea or fatigue).
Baseline assessments included medical history, physical examination, vital signs, chest radiography, ECG, routine laboratory tests, and the tumour markers CEA and CA19-9.
Stopping criteria consisted of symptoms such as unsustainable dyspnoea or leg fatigue, chest pain, ECG significant ST-segment depression, a drop in systolic blood pressure or oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤ 84%.
All patients were required to have a complete physical examination, bilateral mammography, chest radioscopy, ECG, ultrasonography of breasts, axillary fossa, cervical parts, abdomen and pelvis, and routine blood and biochemical tests before surgery and adjuvant therapy when appropriate.
Within the Rotterdam Study eight highly prevalent cardiac outcomes are considered subdivided into three categories, namely CHD, heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias (Table 2).> -wrap-foot> myocardialinfarctiontion, CHD coronary heart disease The triad of chest pain, ECG abnormalities, and rise of cardiac enzymes has been a generally accepted definition of acute MI for many years.
11 ECG, chest radiography, chest CT and/or echocardiography were measured at recruitment.
