Coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with microvascular angina: analysis by TIMI frame count.
We have previously reported that angina pectoris persists in patients with coronary microvascular spasm (MVS) even on calcium channel blockers. Because measurement of myocardial lactate production in the coronary sinus is necessary to diagnose MVS, a more feasible diagnostic method needs to be developed. In this study, we examined the diagnostic significance of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarc...
متن کاملTIMI frame count immediately after primary coronary angioplasty as a predictor of functional recovery in patients with TIMI 3 reperfused acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether higher coronary blood flow, estimated by the corrected Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count (CTFC), is related to better functional and clinical outcome after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Experimental studies have f...
متن کاملDecreased coronary blood flow velocity in patients with aortic insufficiency but normal coronary arteries: the use of TIMI frame count in aortic insufficiency cases.
Patients with aortic insufficiency (AI) may suffer from anginapector is in the absence of obstructive coronaryartery disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate coronary blood flow using the thrombolysis in myocardialinfarction (TIMI) frame count (TFC) method in patients with AI and normal coronaryarteries. The study included 64 patients (Group 1; meanage 62.4 ± 13.2 years) with moderate to...
متن کاملCoronary flow evaluation by TIMI frame count and magnetic resonance flow velocity in patients with coronary artery ectasia.
PURPOSE Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as a dilatation of an arterial segment to a diameter at least 1.5 times that of the adjacent artery. It is characterized by slow flow, predisposing to thrombosis. The TIMI frame count (TFC) technique has been successfully used for the assessment of coronary flow velocity using coronary angiograms (CA). Our aim was to compare TFC with magnetic res...
متن کاملCoronary flow velocity reserve does not correlate with TIMI frame count in patients undergoing non-emergency percutaneous coronary intervention.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to compare the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count (CTFC) with coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND The relationship between CTFC and CFVR has not been adequately assessed in patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS We studied 62 patients who un...
