Predictors of slow flow in angiographically normal coronary arteries.
INTRODUCTION Slow coronary flow (SCF) is a well-known angiographic finding; however, the pathophysiology of SCF remains only partially understood. In this study, we have examined the risk factors of slow coronary flow. METHODS Seventy patients with angiographically proven SCF were studied along with 60 control participants. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the angiographic finding...

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 کاملAtorvastatin improves coronary flow and endothelial function in patients with coronary slow flow
The underlying mechanisms behind the effect of atorvastatin on patients with coronary slow flow (CSF) remain largely unknown. To investigate the possible underlying molecular mechanisms 108 patients were divided into atorvastatin group and control group. Coronary flow was quantified according to corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC). Serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), lipids, ET-1,...
متن کاملEvaluation of ghrelin levels and endothelial functions in patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon
Background Ghrelin has recently been reported to have beneficial effects on cardiac contractile functions and coronary blood flow. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role of ghrelin in the pathogenesis of coronary slow flow (CSF) together with endothelial functions. Methods Twenty-five patients having normal coronary arteries with CSF and 25 controls with normal coronary fl...
