Relationship between coronary tortuosity and plateletcrit coronary tortuosity and plateletcrit.
BACKGROUND Coronary tortuosity (CorT) is a common angiographic finding and may be associated with myocardial ischaemia, even without coronary artery disease. Platelets play a crucial role in inflammatory and thrombotic processes and the physiopathology of cardiovascular disease. Larger platelets are more active enzymatically and have higher thrombotic ability compared to smaller platelets. Plat...
متن کاملAssessment of Vitamin B12 in Patients with Coronary Tortuosity Vitamin B12 and Coronary Tortuosity
Background: Vitamin B 12 deficiency has been implicated in endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease via hyperhomocysteinemia. Coronary tortuosity (CorT) is a common coronary angiography finding. The etiology, clinical implication and long term prognosis are still not well clarified. This study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the relationship between CorT and vitamin B12. Subjec...
متن کاملGiant coronary aneurysm and arterial tortuosity.
Giant coronary artery aneurysm is rare. A 71-year-old female was referred to our hospital 3 months after onset of symptoms. Work-up including coronary angiogram and computed tomographic angiogram helped a definite diagnosis of a giant aneurysm of the circumflex coronary artery. The patient was conservatively managed with a close follow-up. In this article, this rare lesion was presented with as...
متن کاملCoronary tortuosity: a long and winding road.
Coronary tortuosity is a phenomenon often encountered by cardiologists performing coronary angiography. The aetiology and clinical importance of coronary tortuosity are still unclear. Coronary tortuosity without fixed atherosclerotic stenosis in patients with angina pectoris and an abnormal exercise stress test has never been described in the literature.This article describes three cases of pat...
متن کاملImpact of Coronary Tortuosity on Coronary Pressure: Numerical Simulation Study
BACKGROUND Coronary tortuosity (CT) is a common coronary angiographic finding. Whether CT leads to an apparent reduction in coronary pressure distal to the tortuous segment of the coronary artery is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of CT on coronary pressure distribution by numerical simulation. METHODS 21 idealized models were created to investigate the inf...
