چکیده

The human coronary collateral circulation is prognostically relevant. The understanding of collateral formation and its determinants may guide future therapeutic strategies aiming at promoting collateral growth and functionality, and hence reducing the global burden of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Determinants of coronary collateral circulation in patients with coronary artery disease.

OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify possible determinants of coronary collaterals in patients with severe coronary artery disease. METHODS The current study has a retrospective cohort design. Seventy four patients with ≥90% stenosis or total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) were enrolled; coronary collateral grades, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), fibrinoge...

Plasma Chemokine Levels Are Associated with the Presence and Extent of Angiographic Coronary Collaterals in Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease

BACKGROUND In patients with chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD), the presence and extent of spontaneously visible coronary collaterals are powerful determinants of clinical outcome. There is marked heterogeneity in the recruitment of coronary collaterals amongst patients with similar degrees of coronary artery stenoses, but the biological basis of this heterogeneity is not known. Chemokines ar...

Coronary collaterals: an important and underexposed aspect of coronary artery disease.

Important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) have been identified, but they fail to explain why some patients with atherosclerosis become symptomatic and have recurrent symptomatic disease, and others do not. Apart from the extent of coronary atherosclerosis (among other factors), the sensitivity of organs to episodes of ischemia is probably of importance. An organ may be less sensit...

Coronary collaterals remain recruitable after percutaneous intervention.

BACKGROUND Rapid loss of collateral support has been reported after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), leaving the myocardium susceptible to subsequent infarction. However, well-developed collaterals have been found in normal hearts, suggesting that collaterals exist even in the absence of an ischemic stimulus. We assessed the plasticity and determinants of collateral supply after PCI. ...

Genetics and susceptibility of coronary collateral formation.

Collateral Formation To the Editor: In their excellent special review article on coronary collaterals, Koerselman et al1 outline the angiogenic cascade and discuss why coronary collaterals are important and why this individual potential to develop collaterals should be considered an additional indicator of cardiac vulnerability. However, the authors do not emphasize the importance of the geneti...
