Evaluation 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 کاملThe rare complication of Behcet's syndrome: concomitance of coronary slow flow with acute coronary syndrome.
DESCRIPTION Coronary slow flow (CSF) is a phenomenon characterised by delayed opacification of coronary arteries in the absence of epicardial stenosis, in which microvascular and endothelial dysfunction have been implicated in pathophysiology. The association between acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and Behcet’s syndrome is well known but rare, and is especially important due to the tendency to a...
متن کاملClinical characteristics of patients with coronary slow flow.
To the Editor: I read with interest the recent paper by Hawkins et al1 in which they investigated the prevalence and clinical features of the coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP). They identified 1,714 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography and included 158 patients with normal coronary arteries and normal left ventricular function. Of this subgroup, 96 subjects had CSF in at l...
متن کاملIncreased red cell distribution width in patients with slow coronary flow syndrome
OBJECTIVE An elevated red cell distribution width has been recognized as a predictor of various cardiovascular diseases. Slow coronary flow syndrome is an important angiographic clinical entity with an unknown etiology. This study aimed to examine the relationship between red cell distribution width and the presence of slow coronary flow syndrome. METHODS In total, 185 patients with slow coro...
متن کاملThe Effect of Primary Angioplasty and Drug Therapy in Elderly Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Background & Aims: The aging of the population has caused an increase in the number of elderly people who receive treatment for cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of coronary artery disease is higher in the elderly, and on the other hand, complications after cardiac events are worse in the elderly. The most common cause of death in the elderly is cardiovascular disease. Rapid restoration of...
