Assessment of coronary artery outward remodeling in consequence of excision of epicardial adipose tissue in Ossabaw swine [PDF]

, 2017
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) results from the buildup of cholesterol, inflammatory factors, and proliferating smooth muscle cells within a vessel wall. This plaque impedes on the vessel lumen, decreasing the space through which blood can flow,

Numerical analysis of the impact of flow rate, heart rate, vessel geometry, and degree of stenosis on coronary hemodynamic indices

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2018
Background The stenosis of the coronary arteries is usually caused by atherosclerosis. Hemodynamic significance of patient-specific coronary stenoses and the risk of its progression may be assessed by comparing the hemodynamic effects induced by flow ...

Endothelin-1 supports clonal derivation and expansion of cardiovascular progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells

Nature Communications, 2016
Understanding coronary vessels development provides basis for regenerative strategies. Here, Soh et al. identify endothelin-1 as a key molecule driving long-term expansion of ISL1+bipotent vascular progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells, and

Defining Anatomic Variants of the Coronary Artery in Taiwanese Subjects Using 64-Multidetector-Row Computed Tomography

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2007
The newly developed 64-multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) prompted us to evaluate coronary angiography using this noninvasive method. We reviewed 281 images of MDCT coronary angiography in Taiwanese.
