Atorvastatin improves coronary flow and endothelial function in patients with coronary slow flow
The underlying mechanisms behind the effect of atorvastatin on patients with coronary slow flow (CSF) remain largely unknown. To investigate the possible underlying molecular mechanisms 108 patients were divided into atorvastatin group and control group. Coronary flow was quantified according to corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC). Serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), lipids, ET-1,...

متن کاملVascular endothelial function in patients with coronary slow flow and the effects of nebivolol.
BACKGROUND Brachial endothelial function has been associated with coronary slow flow (CSF). Increasing blood flow to brachial artery provokes endothelium to release nitric oxide (NO) with subsequent vasodilatation. Besides its β1-blocker activity, nebivolol causes vasodilatation by increasing endothelial NO release. OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of nebivolol on vascular endothelial function...
متن کاملEffects of Nebivolol on Endothelial Function and Exercise Parameters in Patients with Slow Coronary Flow
OBJECTIVE Earlier studies have reported that a decrease in exercise capacity might indicate endothelial dysfunction. However, the effects of improvement of endothelial functions on exercise capacity have not been evaluated. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of nebivolol on flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), and on the exercise capacities of the patients with slow coronary ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Electrocardiogram Changes in Patients with Slow Coronary Flow
Background: Slow coronary flow (SCF) is defined as a condition in which in spite of no evidence of coronary occlusion or stenosis in angiography, there is delayed pacification of the vessels after the injection of a contrast agent. There are several studies about electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in these patients, but changes like OLD MI, RBBB, LBBB, LVH and ST-T wave have not b...
