Reply: Could Plaque Composition-Related Endothelial Dysfunction Predict Poor Prognosis in Coronary Vasospastic Angina?
We read with interest the report by Ishii et al. (1) of their retrospective study in which patients with clinical suspicion of coronary vasospastic angina (CVA) underwent coronary angiography using a preset acetylcholine (ACh) protocol. Patients with positive results on ACh provocation testing were divided into 2 groups on the basis of the comorbidity of significant coronary stenosis, defined a...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction is an independent factor responsible for vasospastic angina.
In order to evaluate peripheral endothelial function in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA), we measured flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in patients with VSA and compared it with FMD in patients without VSA. Endothelial dysfunction is considered one of the mechanisms underlying VSA. However, its exact role remains to be clarified. The study included 30 patients with posit...
متن کاملCoronary Vasospastic Angina: Assessment by Multidetector CT Coronary Angiography
OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the imaging findings of multidetector CT coronary angiography (MDCTA) in cases of vasospastic angina (VA) and to determine the accuracy of MDCTA in the identification of VA as compared with invasive coronary angiography with an ergonovine provocation test (CAG with an EG test). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-three patients with clinically suspected VA were enrolled...
متن کاملMorphological Characteristics of Coronary€Arteries in Patients With€Vasospastic Angina
V asospastic angina (VSA) is a variant form of angina in which chest pain typically appears without provocation, is accompanied by transient ST-segment elevation, and usually resolves spontaneously or with rapid-acting nitroglycerin. Although VSA usually occurs in angiographically normal or near-normal coronary arteries, intravascular ultrasound studies (IVUS) have demonstrated early atheroscle...
متن کاملProthrombotic profile in patients with vasospastic or non vasospastic angina and non significant coronary stenosis
BACKGROUND Patients with vasospastic (VA) or non vasospastic angina (NVA) without significant coronary stenosis have a reduced risk of infarction but is unclear whether or not this may be attributable to a lack of prothrombotic profile - similar to that present in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS Plasma levels of von Willebrand factor, total and free tissue factor p...
