Assessment of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty by quantitative coronary angiography: diameter versus densitometric area measurements.
Cineangiograms of 138 patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) were analyzed with a computer-based coronary angiography analysis system. The results before and after dilatation are presented. In a first study group (120 patients), the severity of the obstructive lesions derived from the automatically detected contours was evaluated in absolute terms and in pe...
متن کاملNitroso-redox balance in control of coronary vasomotor tone.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential in vascular homeostasis but may contribute to vascular dysfunction when excessively produced. Superoxide anion (O(2)(·-)) can directly affect vascular tone by reacting with K(+) channels and indirectly by reacting with nitric oxide (NO), thereby scavenging NO and causing nitroso-redox imbalance. After myocardial infarction (MI), oxidative stress incre...
متن کاملGenetic determinants of coronary vasomotor tone in humans.
APART FROM AND IN ADDITION to all established mechanisms and mediators in the regulation of coronary blood flow under normal and pathological circumstances (1), there remains substantial interindividual variability in coronary vasomotor responses, both in the experimental animal and in humans. Such interindividual variability has, among other factors such as age, diet, and environmental factors...
متن کاملEvidence for Persistent Arteriolar Vasomotor Tone During Coronary Hypoperfusion
The goals of this study were to test the following hypotheses: 1) Coronary autoregulatory adjustments to decreases in perfusion pressure occur primarily in coronary arterioles (<150 ,um in diameter). 2) Small coronary arteries (>150 ,um in diameter) can be recruited to participate in the autoregulatory adjustments as perfusion pressure is progressively lowered. 3) Small arterioles are the locat...
متن کاملstatic versus dynamic assessment of l2 learners’ reading ability
dynamic assessment according to vygotskys sociocultural theory, states that instruction and assessment are interrelated. using static forms of assessment with second and foreign language students could do more harm than good. many teachers neglect to take account of the complexity involved in learning a second or foreign language and often wonder why learning of a language take so long. thi...
