Demonstration of Chlamydia pneumoniae in atherosclerotic lesions of coronary arteries.

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1993
Chlamydia pneumoniae is a human respiratory pathogen that causes acute respiratory disease and approximately 10% of community-acquired pneumonia. The infections are geographically widespread. Antibody prevalence studies have shown that virtually everyone

Coronary artery calcium, coronary artery disease, and diabetes

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2001
Diabetes is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the US. Most sufferers are unaware that they have coronary artery disease, and death is often quite sudden. Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) is a non-invasive procedure that detects coronary artery disease (CAD) by measuring the amount of coronary

Coronary Artery Spasm Following Coronary Artery Revascularization

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1982
Coronary artery spasm is a well-documented phenomenon in patients undergoing medial treatment. We describe coronary artery spasm occurring in the immediate postoperative period following coronary artery bypass operation. The spasm occurred in a vessel that was not operated on and that had no apparent lesion.

A giant coronary artery aneurysm in the right coronary artery

Cardiovascular Pathology, 2006
Aneurysms of the coronary arteries are uncommon occurrences that usually develop secondary to atherosclerosis and are often asymptomatic. They are usually diagnosed incidentally during investigation for ischemic heart disease or at autopsy for sudden death.

The normal and abnormal anatomy of the coronary arteries

Clinical anatomy (New York, N.Y. Print), 2009
Beneficial therapeutic options are increasingly available for coronary arterial disease. To take full advantage of these options, those performing the interventions require a thorough knowledge of the normal arrangement, and likely anatomic variations ...

Prospective versus retrospective ECG gating for 64-detector CT of the coronary arteries: comparison of image quality and patient radiation dose.

Radiology, 2008
PURPOSE To compare image quality and patient radiation dose in a group of patients who underwent 64-detector computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography performed with prospective electrocardiographic (ECG) gating with image quality and radiation dose ...

Coronary Artery Plaque

2010
CT angiography allows assessment of plaque of the coronary artery wall before luminal narrowing develops. In symptomatic patients with suspected luminal stenosis, identification and characterization of nonobstructive plaque provides prognostic data incremental to the evaluation of luminal stenosis alone.

Short-term effects of biocorrodible iron stents in porcine coronary arteries.

Journal of interventional cardiology, 2008
BACKGROUND Biocorrodible iron stents carry the potential to overcome limitations, such as chronic inflammation and premature recoil, posed by biodegradable polymer and magnesium alloy stents.

Angina with "normal" coronary arteries.

, 2005
EACH YEAR, MANY WOMEN ARE told that they have no significant heart disease following demonstration of “normal” or near-normal coronary arteries after coronary angiography and are offered no treatment beyond reassurance.

The Coronary Artery

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1983
This book consists of 28 chapters, 25 of them reviews of recent findings in one area or another of arterial biochemistry and physiology. The authors of the individual scientific reviews have themselves worked in the separate fields and show themselves to be informed of the work of others. The reviews range in quality from good to excellent.
