Coronary Angiograms
Background. Coronary vasodilator reserve is reduced in some patients with a history of chest pain and angiographically normal coronary arteries. ECG changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia during exercise also can be demonstrated in a subset of these patients. Methods and Results. We have investigated the correlation between coronary vasodilator reserve, assessed with "N-labeled ammonia and p...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion in hypertensive patients with normal coronary angiograms.
BACKGROUND Pressure-induced left ventricular hypertrophy is one of the mechanisms responsible for an impaired coronary vasodilating capacity leading to myocardial ischemia and angina. The aim of the study was to investigate myocardial perfusion using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with arterial hypertension and a history of chest pain and normal coronary angiography, and to estim...
متن کاملMen with coronary artery disease have lower levels of androgens than men with normal coronary angiograms.
AIMS High androgen levels are presumed by many to explain the male predisposition to coronary artery disease. However, natural androgens inhibit male atherosclerosis(1). Our aim was to determine whether levels of androgens differ between men with and without coronary artery disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety male subjects (60 with positive, and 30 with negative coronary angiograms) were recr...
متن کاملLow prevalence of coronary artery spasm in patients with normal coronary angiograms and unexplained ventricular fibrillation.
AIMS The aetiology of ventricular fibrillation in patients without identifiable structural heart disease is unknown. Recently, high prevalence of silent ischaemia due to coronary artery spasm has been reported in such patients. However, in at least one report, all patients had non-critical coronary artery lesions. Identification of coronary artery spasm as the underlying aetiology of ventricula...
متن کاملCoronary reserve and exercise ECG in patients with chest pain and normal coronary angiograms.
BACKGROUND Coronary vasodilator reserve is reduced in some patients with a history of chest pain and angiographically normal coronary arteries. ECG changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia during exercise also can be demonstrated in a subset of these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We have investigated the correlation between coronary vasodilator reserve, assessed with 13N-labeled ammonia and ...
