Prevalence of Inducible Myocardial Ischemia in Patients with Cervical Spondylosis having Typical Chest Pain
Author: Ashab et al. Summary: Ischemic heart disease is the most prevalent non-communicable disease in the world. Cervical spondylosis (CS) patients presenting with typical chest pain may have underlying myocardial ischemia (MI) which often remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of inducible myocardial ischemia among the patients with cervical spondylosis and typical chest pain. Method: We included a total of 54 adult CS patients presenting with typical chest pain for this cross-sectional analytical study. All of them underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography using standard protocol. Informed written consent was ensured before participation. Ethical measures were taken in compliance
