The relationship between coronary slow flow phenomenon and urotensin-II: A prospective and controlled study
OBJECTIVE The underlying mechanism of coronary slow flow (CSF) has not yet been clarified, although many studies have been conducted to understand its pathophysiology. In this study, we investigated the role of a very potent vasoconstrictor, urotensin-II (UII), in the pathophysiology of CSF. This prospective and controlled investigation aimed to evaluate the association between CSF and serum le...
متن کاملThe role of urotensin II and atherosclerotic risk factors in patients with slow coronary flow
BACKGROUND Slow coronary flow (SCF) is an angiographic finding characterized with delayed opacification of epicardial coronary arteries without obstructive coronary disease. Urotensin II (UII) is an important vascular peptide, which has an important role in hypertension, coronary artery disease, and vascular remodeling in addition to potent vasoconstrictor effect. OBJECTIVES We investigated U...
متن کاملThe relationship between eosinophilia and slow coronary flow
AIM The pathophysiology of slow coronary flow (SCF) involves atherosclerosis, small vessel dysfunction, platelet function disorders, and inflammation. It has been known that eosinophils also play a significant role in inflammation, vasoconstriction, thrombosis, and endothelial dysfunction. We propose to evaluate the relationship between eosinophilia and SCF. METHODS All patients who underwent...
متن کاملRelationship between platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and coronary slow flow
OBJECTIVE The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP), which is characterized by delayed distal vessel opacification in the absence of significant epicardial coronary disease, is an angiographic finding. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and coronary blood flow rate. METHODS This is a retrospective observational study. It was based...
متن کاملRelationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and slow coronary flow.
OBJECTIVES We evaluated the relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and slow coronary flow (SCF). METHODS A total of 180 participants were recruited to the present study. Of all the participants, 82 patients were with SCF and 98 participants were with normal coronary arteries. Basal characteristics were recorded. Coronary flow was quantified by thrombolysis in myocardial inf...
