Does nicorandil improve myocardial ischemia in a patient with Bland-White-Garland syndrome?
Does nicorandil improve myocardial ischemia in a patient with Bland-White-Garland syndrome?
Nicorandil may be an effective treatment option for improving myocardial ischemia in patients with Bland-White-Garland syndrome.
May support nicorandil in Bland-White-Garland ischemia; hypothesis-generating, needs controlled validation.
A 75-year-old woman who had previously been diagnosed with Bland-White-Garland syndrome was admitted to our hospital for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Following her recovery from ADHF, pharmacologic stress myocardial scintigraphy revealed myocardial ischemia in the basal anterior area of the left ventricle. Moreover, myocardial scintigraphy showed the improvement of the myocardial ischemia after 6 months of nicorandil administration.
