Prognostic relevance of coronary collateral function: confounded or causal relationship?
OBJECTIVE To expand the limited information on the prognostic impact of quantitatively obtained collateral function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and to estimate causality of such a relation. DESIGN Prospective cohort study with long-term observation of clinical outcome. SETTING University Hospital. PATIENTS One thousand one hundred and eighty-one patients with chronic st...
متن کاملCoronary collateral function during exercise.
A totally occluded coronary vessel subtending a noninfarcted, entirely collateral-dependent myocardial region (NIECDMR) provides an opportunity to assess collateral perfusion during exercise stress. Collateral function was determined by analysis of exercise thallium-201 myocardial perfusion images from 31 patients who had at least one NIECDMR (total 41 NIECDMRs) documented during catheterizatio...
متن کاملIntense Exercise and Native Collateral Function in Stable Moderate Coronary Artery Disease: Incidental, Causal, or Clinically Important?
1431 In the report by Möbius-Winkler et al in this issue of Circulation, 60 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) by angiogram and fractional flow reserve (FFR) ≤0.75 were randomly assigned to supervised highor moderate-intensity exercise or a sedentary group for 4 weeks at specialized rehabilitation centers. At angiogram, a coronary artery was occluded by low-pressure balloon occlusion f...
متن کاملHistorical Aspects and Relevance of the Human Coronary Collateral Circulation
In 1669, anastomoses between the right and left coronary artery were first documented by Richard Lower of Amsterdam. Using post-mortem imaging, a debate followed on the existence of structural inter-coronary anastomoses, which was not resolved before the first half of the 20 ieth century in case of the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), and not before the early 1960 ies in case of the n...
متن کاملCoronary collateral function in patients without occlusive coronary artery disease.
Little is known of the functional capacity of coronary collaterals in humans without occlusive coronary artery disease. We, therefore, measured peripheral coronary pressure (PCP) and retrograde flow (RF) from coronary arteries at aortic valve replacement in seven patients without occlusive coronary artery disease. Using a T-connection interposed in left (LCA) and right (RCA) coronary perfusion ...
