Background In diabetic patients a predisposed coronary microcirculation along with a higher risk of distal particulate embolization during primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) increases the risk of peri-procedural microcirculatory damage. However, new

Abstract Aims Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) provides anatomical assessment of coronary stenoses, its ability to determine their functional significance is limited. Computed tomography‐derived fractional flow reserve (CT‐FFR) has emerged as a non‐

Intracoronary Delivery of Human Mesenchymal/Stromal Stem Cells: Insights from Coronary Microcirculation Invasive Assessment in a Swine Model. [PDF]
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells have unique properties favorable to their use in clinical practice and have been studied for cardiac repair. However, these cells are larger than coronary microvessels and there is controversy about the risk of embolization

ABSTRACT Aims To identify low‐ and high‐risk intervals for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all‐cause mortality according to lipid ratios in adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), stratified by sex. Materials and Methods We used primary care electronic health records from the Spanish National Health Service including 303 199 adults ...

Platelet kinetics in the pulmonary microcirculation in vivo assessed by intravital microscopy [PDF]
Growing evidence supports the substantial pathophysiological impact of platelets on the development of acute lung injury. Methods for studying these cellular mechanisms in vivo are not present yet.

Among 8,779 non‐diabetic patients with first‐onset STEMI, older age was associated with a higher likelihood of stress hyperglycemia. However, the excess mortality risk associated with stress hyperglycemia was greatest in younger patients and attenuated with advancing age, highlighting the possibility of age‐dependent prognostic significance.

Coronary flow reserve (CFR) is a fundamental physiological index defined as the ratio of maximal coronary blood flow during hyperemia to resting flow. It provides an integrated assessment of the entire coronary circulation, from epicardial arteries to ...

Background Microcirculation is a decisive factor in tissue reperfusion inadequacy following myocardial infarction (MI). Nonetheless, experimental assessment of blood flow in microcirculation remains a bottleneck.

Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

Assessment of coronary microcirculation in a swine animal model
Coronary microvascular dysfunction has important prognostic implications. Several hemodynamic indexes, such as coronary flow reserve (CFR), microvascular resistance, and zero-flow pressure (Pzf), were used to establish the most reliable index to assess ...
