Evaluation of serum prolidase activity in patients with slow coronary flow
INTRODUCTION Slow coronary flow (SCF) is described as the slow passage of contrast to distal coronaries despite anatomically normal coronary arteries. It has been shown that increased serum prolidase activity (SPA) correlates with collagen turnover. Increased collagen turnover might be associated with the development of atherosclerotic plaques. AIM To investigate the relationship between seru...
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...
متن کاملCoronary Slow Flow
oronary angiography (CAG) is the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Of all patients referred for angiography, up to 20% have normal coronary arteries.1,2 Though noncoronary causes of chest pain may be identified in this population with normal coronaries, it has long been recognized that angina may still be present. An example of this is cardiovascular syndrome X, a co...
متن کاملDiffuse intimal thickening of coronary arteries in slow coronary flow.
Intravascular ultrasound imaging can detect intimal thickening and is suitable for detection of early atherosclerosis, which cannot be detected by conventional angiography. The aim of the present study was to investigate the epicardial coronary morphology and intracoronary pressure in relation to slow coronary flow (SCF). The study population consisted of 19 patients with SCF [11 (57.9%) female...
متن کاملcoronary slow flow phenomenon clinical findings and predictors
conclusions the scf phenomenon is relatively frequent, particularly among patients with acute coronary syndrome who are scheduled for coronary angiography. hypertension, a low hdl-c level, and high hemoglobin level can be considered independent predictors of this phenomenon. results among the 3600 patients scheduled for selective coronary angiography, 75 (2%) met the scf criteria. scf and neca ...
