Spontaneous and interventional coronary microembolisation.
SPONTANEOUS CORONARY MICROEMBOLISATION The development of coronary atherosclerosis can be subdivided into five stages according to the American Heart Association. Atheroma and fibroatheroma, stage IV and V lesions, are characterised by lipid core formation. When the ratio of the lipid core to total plaque size increases and the fibrous cap thickness decreases < 60 μm , the risk of rupture is en...
متن کاملPathophysiology of coronary circulation.
I consider it a great honour to have been asked to give the Sir Thomas Lewis Lecture, and I have chosen for my subject the pathophysi,,ology of the coronary circulation a topic which was of great interest to Sir Thomas. Another reason for selecting this topic is that so much of the good, recent work in this field * has been done in Britain and many of the investigators who have made significant...
متن کاملPathophysiology of Coronary Collaterals#
While the existence of structural adaptation of coronary anastomoses is undisputed, the potential of coronary collaterals to be capable of functional adaptation has been questioned. For many years, collateral vessels were thought to be rigid tubes allowing only limited blood flow governed by the pressure gradient across them. This concept was consistent with the notion that although collaterals...
متن کاملPathophysiology of coronary artery spasm.
Coronary arterial measurements were made from cineangiograms in patients with positive and negative ergonovine tests. In those with positive tests, normal segments of arteries adjacent to the site of spasm and arteries without spasm showed no greater sensitivity to ergonovine than arteries from control patients (20 +/- 13% constriction vs 17 +/- 12%, NS). In patients with positive and negative ...
متن کاملPathophysiology of coronary artery disease.
During the past decade, our understanding of the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD) has undergone a remarkable evolution. We review here how these advances have altered our concepts of and clinical approaches to both the chronic and acute phases of CAD. Previously considered a cholesterol storage disease, we currently view atherosclerosis as an inflammatory disorder. The appreciat...
