Physiological severity of coronary artery stenosis.
THREE FUNDAMENTAL ADVANCES in our knowledge underlie the rapidly evolving long-term treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), summarized briefly here for perspective on the paper by Marques and colleagues (17) in this issue of American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, on quantifying severity of coronary artery stenoses by their pressure-flow velocity relation. The first...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...
متن کاملAssessment of renal artery stenosis severity by pressure gradient measurements.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to define "significant" renal artery stenosis (i.e., a stenosis able to induce arterial hypertension). BACKGROUND The degree of renal artery stenosis that justifies an attempt at revascularization is unknown. METHODS In 15 patients, transstenotic pressure measurements were obtained before and after unilateral stenting. After stenting, graded stenoses...
متن کاملThe relationship between clinical parameters and lifestyle variables among patients with severity of coronary artery stenosis: A cross-sectional analysis based on the severity of coronary artery stenosis
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death all over the world. Lifestyle can have an important role not only in reducing risk factors but also in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between clinical parameters and various aspects of patients' lifestyles according to the severity of their coronary...
متن کاملIdentifying and measuring severity of coronary artery stenosis. Quantitative coronary arteriography and positron emission tomography.
Q uantifying severity of coronary artery stenosis is becoming increasingly important for many reasons, including evaluation of interventions such as cholesterol control, stress management, pharmacological agents, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, thrombolysis, and bypass surgery; clinical decisions on medical versus mechanical treatment of coronary artery stenoses; judgment of ade...
