چکیده
In order to define the clinical features, clinical patterns and significance of aneurysmal dilatation of the coronary arteries, five cases are presented which were diagnosed by coronary angiography. Three cases presented with left ventricular dysfunction secondary to coronary arterial occlusive disease and the fourth patient presented with thromboembolic cerebrovascular disease. The fifth case presented with manifestations of acute myocardial infarction.

Background and purpose: Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) measurement in brachial artery (BA) is a method of assessing endothelial cell function and predicting atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. We investigated the predictive value of FMD for the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a low-risk group of patients. Materials and methods: A prospective study was performed in 397 p...
