The Relationship between Coronary Artery Movement Type and Stenosis Severity with Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Introduction: The severity of coronary artery stenosis which leads to myocardial infarction (MI) has been a matter of controversy. Historical data are in favor of mild luminal stenosis (

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.

Collateral donor artery physiology and the influence of a chronic total occlusion on fractional flow reserve [PDF]
Background— The presence of a concomitant chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) and a large collateral contribution might alter the fractional flow reserve (FFR) of an interrogated vessel, rendering the FFR unreliable at predicting ischemia should the ...

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 ...
