Clinical 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 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 کاملcoronary slow flow phenomenon clinical findings and predictors
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 ...
متن کاملThe effect of blood cell count on coronary flow in patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is a coronary artery disease with a benign course, but its pathological mechanisms are not yet fully understood.The purpose of this controlled study was to investigate the cellular content of blood in patients diagnosed with CSFP and the relationship of this with coronary flow rates. METHODS Selective coronary angiographies of ...
متن کاملPlasma lipoprotein(a) levels in patients with slow coronary flow
INTRODUCTION Slow coronary flow (SCF) is a microvascular disorder characterized by delayed opacification of coronary vessels with normal coronary angiogram. It may be due to endothelial dysfunction and diffuse atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is related to cardiovascular events. Plasma Lp(a) levels have not been studied previously in SCF patients. AIM We investigated plasma Lp(a) and f...
