Transmural myocardial ischemia due to slow coronary flow
Slow coronary flow phenomenon(SCFP) is an angiographic observation characterized by delayed distal vessel opacification in the absence of significant epicardial coronary disease. Only limited studies have been focused on the etiologies, clinical manifestations and treatment of this unique angiographic phenomenon. In our case report, we described an 85-year-old man who came with significant ST s...
متن کاملCoronary Slow Flow Phenomenon Leads to ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
The exact etiology of the coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is not certain. CSFP is not a normal variant as it is an absolutely pathological entity. Furthermore, CSFP not only leads to myocardial ischemia but it can also cause classical acute ST elevation myocardial infarction, which necessitates coronary angiography for a definite diagnosis.
متن کاملCoronary spasm as a cause of perioperative myocardial infarction.
The case of a patient with severe left main trunk disease is presented, in which spasm of the right coronary artery resulted in intraoperative myocardial ischemia and perioperative myocardial infarction. It is suggested that coronary spasm may be a cause of perioperative myocardial infarction, and has to be considered in case of unknown etiology.
متن کاملCoronary slow flow: Electrophysiologic evidence of ischemia?
Zehir et al. (1) found that Tpe (T-wave peak to end time) Interval and Tpe/QT ratio were prolonged in patients with Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenen (CSFP), published in this issue of Anatol J Cardiol. The coronary slow flow phenomenon is an angiographic finding that is characterized by slow progression of the contrast seen during coronary angiography. It can be present in a diverse population fro...
متن کاملA patient with myocardial infarction and tamponade as a result of spontaneous rupture of an ectatic coronary artery
Introduction: Spontaneous rupture of ectatic vessels is possible in different vascular beds and it can be life-threatening. Rapid diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment are essential. Case report: A 63-year-old man presented with chest pain in a state where he was sleepy. Vital signs at the time of admission included a systemic blood pressure of 90/70 mm Hg, heart rate of 100 beats p...
