چکیده

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 patients did not exhibit statistically significant differences in traditional risk factors except for hypertension, which was more prevalent in scf than neca patients (52% versus 31%, p = 0.008). a multivariable analysis indicated a low body mass index, presence of hypertension, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c) level, and high hemoglobin level as independent predictors of the scf phenomenon; of these, hypertension was the strongest predictor (odds ratio = 6.3, 95% confidence interval: 2.2 - 17.9, p = 0.001). objectives in this study, we aimed to describe the demographic and clinical findings and presence of common atherosclerosis risk factors in patients with the scf phenomenon. patients and methods between october 2014 and march 2015, demographic data, clinical histories, atherosclerosis risk factors, and laboratory and angiographic findings were recorded for all consecutive patients scheduled for coronary angiography and diagnosed with the scf phenomenon, as well as a control group (patients with normal epicardial coronary arteries; neca). scf was diagnosed based on the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count (tfc). a tfc > 27 indicated a diagnosis of scf phenomenon. background in some patients with chest pain, selective coronary angiography reveals slow contrast agent passage through the epicardial coronary arteries in the absence of stenosis. this phenomenon has been designated the slow coronary flow (scf) phenomenon.

Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenon Clinical Findings and Predictors

BACKGROUND In some patients with chest pain, selective coronary angiography reveals slow contrast agent passage through the epicardial coronary arteries in the absence of stenosis. This phenomenon has been designated the slow coronary flow (SCF) phenomenon. OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to describe the demographic and clinical findings and presence of common atherosclerosis risk factors ...

Coronary slow flow phenomenon: an angiographic curiosity.

Cardiologists are familiar with the phenomenon of slow progression of angiographic contrast in the coronary arteries in the absence of stenosis in the epicardial vessels in some patients presenting with chest pain. The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP), first described in 1972, remains scantily studied. This phenomenon should be distinguished from occurrence of slow flow in the context of co...

Defining the coronary slow flow phenomenon.

he enigma of angina in the absence of significant epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD) has puzzled cardiologists since the advent of invasive coronary angiography. Indeed, an early paper by Likoff et al1 was entitled ‘Paradox of normal selective coronary angiograms in patients considered to have unmistakable coronary heart disease’ and described 15 women with angina, a positive exercise str...
