heptadecanoic acid/infarction

This trial aimed to test if the half life of radioiodinated heptadecanoic acid (HDA) in acutely infarcted myocardium is of prognostic value. Twenty patients had an HDA scan and a MUGA scan within 6 days of acute myocardial infarction, eighteen of these had a visible defect on the HDA images. The

Calculation of metabolic turnover rates with 123I-heptadecanoic acid (123I-HA) can detect regional myocardial ischaemia in patients with coronary artery disease. We have previously demonstrated different turnover rates in patients with stable angina compared with myocardial infarction. Twelve

Carbon-11 (11C)-palmitate is chemically identical to its physiological counterpart. After intravenous injection the myocardial distribution of 11C-activity can be measured accurately by positron emission tomography. Regions of decreased 11C-palmitate uptake can be readily identified and their size

The potential value of 123I-heptadecanoic acid (123I-H degree A) in myocardial scintigraphy has recently been assessed in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by studying regional myocardial metabolism (Van der Wall et al. 1981 a). To determine the metabolic behavior of 123I-H degree A in

The results described in the literature of myocardial scintigraphy with radioiodinated heptadecanoic acid (IHDA) to detect coronary stenoses are contradictory. In the present study, IHDA scintigraphy was performed in nine control subjects and 67 patients with coronary artery disease. The acquisition

Twenty-three patients with successful intracoronary thrombolytic therapy in the acute stage of infarction underwent scintigraphy with radioiodinated heptadecanoic acid two weeks after myocardial infarction and three to 12 months later. In patients with normal or slow elimination rates in the infarct

The effects of selective thrombolysis with intra-coronary streptokinase in regard to myocardial protection are still debated. In 25 patients with acute myocardial infarction we evaluated regional metabolism with 123 radio-iodinated heptadecanoic acid and segmental 201 thallium scintigraphy in the

We have already shown that myocardial imaging properties of radio-iodinated long-chain free fatty acids (123I-FFA) and thallium 201 (201TI) are comparable in detecting areas of inadequate myocardial perfusion (van der Wall et al. 1980). Besides confirming our earlier observations, the present study

We have tagged heptadecanoic acid with C-11 at the carboxyl group and have inserted a methyl radical in the beta position to inhibit beta oxidation of the fatty acid; we have then explored the tracer's potential as an indicator of myocardial metabolism for use with the positron tomograph. In this

Milk fat is high in saturated fatty acids (SFA) and high intakes of SFA are associated with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the potential risk of a first-ever acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in relation to the estimated milk-fat intake, reflected

BACKGROUND High intakes of saturated fat have been associated with cardiovascular disease, and milk fat is rich in saturated fat. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the serum milk fat biomarkers pentadecanoic acid (15:0), heptadecanoic acid (17:0), and

On the basis of the results which we obtained having performed 25 examinations on 15 patients with angina pectoris syndrome, myocardial infarctions and condition after bypass operation the preparation 123I hepatadecanoic acid produced in the Central Institute for Nuclear Research Rossendorf is very

Extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Dalbergia Odorifera (SM-DOO) has been traditionally used for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, information regarding the pharmacodyamic material basis and potential mechanism remain unknown. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into

A recent meta-analysis by Chowdhury et al. (2014) has disclaimed the association between coronary artery diseases and either circulating blood levels or the intake of total saturated fatty acids (SFA). Scrutiny revealed that two of the eight studies included in the meta-analysis focused on the
