Question 1

is it okay to have an electromyography the same day after having an mri cerebral angiography?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no problem with having a cerebral angiogram and electromyography the same day.

Question 2

i am going to get a cerebral angiography soon, what can i expect?

Accepted Answer

IV Sedate Dye XRay: Angiograms done for symptoms/complications of advanced arterial disease; brain, may be suspected aneurysm. Angiogram means blood picture; pictures show a 2d image, still or motion, of dye added into the blood, so that the dye/blood column shows on x-ray. Iv is inserted, sedatives injected, dye injected via catheter & x-ray pictures taken. (keep in mind artery ds is in artery walls & does not show).

Question 3

what do you advise if i'm going to get a cerebral angiography in 2 day?

Accepted Answer

Angio: If you have already discussed the risks/benefits of the procedure, and you and your team have concluded that this test is appropriate for your clinical situation, there is not much to do other than go for the appointment.  They will probably tell you to take nothing by mouth after midnight, but other than that there is no prep on your part necessary.  If you still have concerns, call your doc.

Question 4

can a diagnostic cerebral angiography show als?

Accepted Answer

No: Als affects neurons. Angiography shows flow in blood vessels.

Question 5

is blood pressure in the brain different than overall blood pressure? after getting mri results with abnormal finding, alot of symptoms of hypertensive cerebral angiography line up with an episode or two that i've had, didn't seem serious, felt "off"

Accepted Answer

Angiopathy: This finding of hypertensive cerebral microangiopathy is the result of chronic elevation of systemic blood pressure and it's effect on the brain due to microhemorrhages in the brain. There can be cerebral  microangiopathy not due to chronic systemic hypertension such as chronic  ischemic changes.  Reduction of cognitive abilities is a symptom of microangiopathy. Consult a neurologist for advice.

Question 6

what does coronary angiography mean all arteries are normal but all epicardial vessels are small in caliber?

Accepted Answer

Small: It means that there are no significant blockages and that the diameter of the normal arteries small. Probably they are in the 1-2.5 mm range rather than the 2.5-4 mm range.

Question 7

what does this mean
triple vessel coronary artery disease needs clinical corelation and further evaluation with conventional angiography?

Accepted Answer

Triple vessel diseas: That statement means you need to see a cardiologist for further evaluation and perhaps additional testing or treatment.

Question 8

result of angiography: three vessel coronary artery desease. preserved lv systolic function.what is best for meangioplasty or bypass operation?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you're diabetic, CABG has better outcomes. If your LEFT MAIN coronary artery has &gt;50% blockage, CABG has better outcomes. Aside from those 2 points, it depends on the skill of the team you have. If they do a lot of angioplasty, that would be preferred. If they don't but their surgical team is first rate, then that would be preferred.

Question 9

wht does ths mean
triple vessel coronary artery disease needs clinical corelation & furthr evaluation with conventional angiography?no heart atack yet

Accepted Answer

All areas affected: The three vessels are the right side, the left anterior descending which is in front, and the left circumflex which is in the back and left side.  Three vessel disease so is just all three major areas of blood distribution are affected. Clinical correlation refers to injecting dye  into the arteries directly taking pictures and actually seeing how much blockage there is in the arteries

Question 10

would cerebral small vessel disease be seen on mri without contrast?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes: Longstanding cerebral small vessel disease (due, for example, to diabetes, rare genetic conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, stroke) can be seen on non-contrast MRI sequences. Controlling your risk factors for small vessel disease is the best prevention. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3714437/
