Vascular Development and Regeneration in the Mammalian Heart
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2016 Cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease are the leading cause of death worldwide. Unraveling the developmental origin of coronary vessels could offer important therapeutic implications for treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Perspectives in Microvascular Fluid Handling: Does the Distribution of Coagulation Factors in Human Myocardium Comply with Plasma Extravasation in Venular Coronary Segments? [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Heterogeneity of vascular permeability has been suggested for the coronary system. Whereas arteriolar and capillary segments are tight, plasma proteins pass readily into the interstitial space at venular sites.

Evaluation of Motion Artifact Metrics for Coronary CT Angiography [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose This study quantified the performance of coronary artery motion artifact metrics relative to human observer ratings. Motion artifact metrics have been used as part of motion correction and best‐phase selection algorithms for Coronary Computed ...

Vessel tractography using an intensity based tensor model with branch detection [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, we present a tubular structure seg- mentation method that utilizes a second order tensor constructed from directional intensity measurements, which is inspired from diffusion tensor image (DTI) modeling.

Interaction between anandamide and sphingosine-1-phosphate in mediating vasorelaxation in rat coronary artery [PDF]
, 2010 <b>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE</b> Anandamide and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) both regulate vascular tone in a variety of vessels. This study aimed to examine the mechanisms involved in the regulation of coronary vascular tone by anandamide and ...

Biomarkers of coronary endothelial health: correlation with invasive measures of collateral function, flow and resistance in chronically occluded coronary arteries and the effect of recanalization [PDF]
, 2016 Objectives: In the presence of a chronically occluded coronary artery, the collateral circulation matures by a process of arteriogenesis; however, there is considerable variation between individuals in the functional capacity of that collateral network ...

Development of Coronary Vessels
The FASEB Journal, 2004 Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the development in coronary vessels. Formation of the coronary vessels occurs through an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation of proepicardial cells, followed by vasculogenesis in the subepicardial layer, assembly and remodeling of a primitive coronary plexus, and recruitment of a smooth-muscle coating ...
