ABSTRACT Background Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) is a well‐established, non‐hyperemic, angiographic, wire‐free predictor of ischemia when compared to Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR). However, its diagnostic accuracy at low frame rates (< 10 frames/second), commonly used in contemporary practice to minimize radiation exposure, has not been evaluated ...

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

The Acute Responses of Different-sized Coronary Arteries to Testosterone [PDF]
Coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium. The blood flow within the coronary arteries is altered by various compounds produced within the body. Sex hormones such as testosterone are known to cause the relaxation of large coronary arteries.
