OBJECTIVE To develop a black blood heart-rate adaptive T2 -prepared balanced steady-state free-precession (BEATS) sequence for myocardial T2 mapping. METHODS In BEATS, blood suppression is achieved by using a combination of preexcitation and double inversion recovery pulses. The timing and flip

Stroke mortality in blacks. Disturbing trends.

BACKGROUND Despite long-term declines in US stroke mortality rates, declines have slowed in the past decade and targets for blacks for the years 2000 and 2010 seem attainable only by extraordinary measures, if at all. This review focuses attention on key aspects of this problem. Data from the US

Copeptin to rule out myocardial infarction in Blacks versus Caucasians.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Copeptin in combination with troponin has been shown to have incremental value for the early rule-out of myocardial infarction, but its performance in Black patients specifically has never been examined. In light of a potential for wider use, data on copeptin in different relevant cohorts

Myocardial infarction among black patients: poor prognosis after hospital discharge.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lacunar infarcts: no black holes in the brain are benign.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lacunar infarcts--small subcortical infarcts that result from occlusion of a single penetrating artery--account for about one quarter of all ischaemic strokes. However, there are many diagnostic pitfalls, and causes other than penetrating small vessel disease in up to one third of cases. Recent

Myocardial infarction after probable black mamba envenomation. A case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

A probable direct toxic effect of elapid venom on the myocardium as evidenced by transient ECG changes and transiently elevated cardiac enzyme levels is described. The patient made good recovery with no residual cardiac damage.

One-year outcome after cerebral infarction in whites, blacks, and Hispanics.

Only registered users can translate articles

Little is known about outcome after cerebral infarction for different ethnic groups. Of 590 stroke patients hospitalized from 1983 to 1986 at the Neurological Institute, cerebral infarction over age 39 years occurred in 135 whites, 177 blacks, and 82 Hispanics. Outcome after cerebral infarction

Severity of coronary artery disease among blacks with acute myocardial infarction.

Only registered users can translate articles

A growing body of evidence suggests that survival after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is considerably worse among blacks than whites. The severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), as measured by the number of diseased vessels and the degree of left ventricular dysfunction, is the major
