Predictors of Well Developed Coronary Collateral Circulation in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods: We prospectively enrolled 52 patients with at least 90% coronary stenosis. Their demographic, anthropometric and clinical data as well as hematological and biochemical parameters, medications, Ejection Fraction (EF) and perfusion index values and angiographic findings were used for determining the predictors for CCD. The Rentrop score (between 0 and 3) was used for the angiographic categorization and patients in Rentrop grades 0 and 1 were classified as poor CCD, and patients in Rentrop grades 2 and 3 were classified as well CCD.

Comparison between Revascularization and Optimal Medical Therapy in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris
Background and Purpose: Regarding usefulness of revascularization versus optimal medical therapy in patients with stable angina pectoris, data are challenging. The aim of this 12-month follow-up study was to compare the survival benefit associated with revascularization versus optimal medical therapy on the patients with stable angina pectoris. Materials and Methods: A prospective clinical s...
متن کاملThe relationship between diastolic pressure and coronary collateral circulation in patients with stable angina pectoris and chronic total occlusion.
BACKGROUND The most important biomechanical source of activation of the coronary collateral circulation (CCC) is increased tangential fluid shear stress at the arterial endothelial surface. The coronary circulation is unique in that most coronary blood flow occurs in diastole. Consequently, the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) may influence the tangential fluid shear stress on the arterial endoth...

Background: The rate of cardiovascular diseases in developing countries is approximately 60% and it is still has an increasing trend. The clinical effectiveness of aspirin in preventing cardiovascular events has been well proven. Although aspirin is an effective and inexpensive drug, its consumption is not equally beneficial for all patients. Many factors can be affective on the efficacy of ant...

OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate whether coronary collateral flow is clinically relevant for future cardiac ischemic events. BACKGROUND The link between good collateral supply related to less myocardial damage and fewer cardiac events has not been established prospectively beyond doubt. METHODS In 403 patients with stable angina pectoris undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty...
متن کاملCoronary collateral growth and its therapeutic application to coronary artery disease.
There is a tremendous body of data concerning the coronary collateral circulation in both experimental animals and humans. The functional importance of a well-developed coronary collateral circulation has now been documented. The paradigm regarding the principal stimulus for coronary collateral growth has shifted from myocardial ischemia to increased shear stress at the site of pre-existing col...
