Occurrence of Myocardial Ischemia Due to Peripheral Distrurbances of Coronary Circulation

Transmural myocardial ischemia due to slow coronary flow

Slow coronary flow phenomenon(SCFP) is an angiographic observation characterized by delayed distal vessel opacification in the absence of significant epicardial coronary disease. Only limited studies have been focused on the etiologies, clinical manifestations and treatment of this unique angiographic phenomenon. In our case report, we described an 85-year-old man who came with significant ST s...

[Collateral circulation due to persistent myocardial sinusoids].

Beneficial effects of the coronary collateral circulation on tachycardia-induced myocardial ischemia during experimental coronary stenosis.

This study was designed to determine whether coronary collaterals have preventive effects on tachycardia-induced myocardial ischemia under partial restriction of proximal coronary artery inflow. Studies were carried out in dogs with developed coronary collaterals and control dogs. ST-elevation in epicardial and intramyocardial electrograms was used for assessing the degree of regional myocardia...

Myocardial ischemia due to severe amoxicillin allergy.

A patient suffered a myocardial injury as a manifestation of anaphylactic reaction to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid administration. A cardiologic study (ergometry and catheterization) showed no obstructive coronary disease and prick test to amoxicillin was positive. Anaphylaxis may cause myocardial injury and the mechanism is likely to be vasospasm induced by mast cells and basophil mediators.
