Coronary sequelae of mitral stenosis [PDF]
An 83-year-old female was admitted because of cardiac decompensation with progressive shortness of breath, peripheral oedema, and atypical chest pain. Her medical history included hypertension, diabetes type II treated with oral antidiabetics, and permanent atrial fibrillation with a brady-tachy syndrome. A pacemaker was implanted previously.

Audible Coronary Artery Stenosis [PDF]
Hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenoses generate turbulent blood flow patterns that manifest as intracoronary murmurs. This study aims to evaluate the performance of modern acoustic detection of these murmurs by acoustic signals captured from patients undergoing gold standard comparative coronary angiography.We prospectively studied 156 ...

Salusin- is superior to salusin- as a marker for evaluating coronary atherosclerosis
Objective This study was performed to evaluate the interaction effect of salusin-α and salusin-β on coronary artery injury or stenosis. Methods The salusin-α and salusin-β concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 256 patients ...

Identification of coronary artery stenosis based on hybrid segmentation and feature fusion
Coronary artery disease has been the utmost mutual heart disease in the past decades. Various research is going on to prevent this disease. Obstructive CAD occurs when one or more of the coronary arteries which supply blood to myocardium are narrowed ...

Relationship between neutrophils to HDL-C ratio and severity of coronary stenosis
Background Lipid and inflammatory molecules play a key role in the development of inflammation. Neutrophil counts are used as markers of inflammation duration, and HDL-C is used as an anti-atherosclerosis component.

Coronary Stenosis Physiology and Novel Technologies [PDF]
An accurate functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis is pivotal in the management and clinical outcomes of patients. The hemodynamic relevance of coronary artery stenoses can be assessed using coronary flow surrogates, namely fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR).

Functional Measurement of Coronary Stenosis
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is considered nowadays as the gold standard for invasive assessment of physiologic stenosis significance and an indispensable tool for decision making in coronary revascularization. Use of FFR in the catheterization laboratory accurately identifies which lesions should be stented and improves the outcome in most elective ...
