متن کاملReversal of abnormal coronary vasomotion by calcium antagonists in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
BACKGROUND It has been shown that exercise-induced coronary vasodilation of angiographically normal coronary vessels is reduced in hypercholesterolemic patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium channel blockers on coronary vasomotion of angiographically smooth coronary arteries in hypercholesterolemic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 57 patients were in...
متن کاملAbnormal coronary vasomotion during exercise in patients with normal coronary arteries and reduced coronary flow reserve.
A reduced coronary flow reserve has been reported in patients with ischemialike symptoms and normal coronary arteries. In 13 such patients, both coronary vasomotion and flow reserve were studied. The luminal area of the proximal and distal third of the left anterior descending and left circumflex artery were determined by biplane quantitative coronary arteriography using a computer-assisted sys...
متن کاملReduction in serum cholesterol with pravastatin improves endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotion in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine if cholesterol-lowering therapy improves endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotion in patients with hypercholesterolemia. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine patients with hypercholesterolemia were studied before and after cholesterol-lowering therapy with pravastatin (an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase) for 6 +/- 3 months, which lowered serum cholesterol from 272...
