There are some observations, that suggest that the coronary microcirculatory function is altered in pathological LVH also in the absence of an associated coronary artery disease (CAD), reflecting ...

In addition, clinical evidence shows that slowing the heart rate reduces the symptoms of angina by improving microcirculation and coronary flow.

Assessment of Coronary Microcirculation Currently, no technique allows the direct visualization of coronary microcirculation in vivo in humans.

Even today, physicians are still puzzled by patients presenting with myocardial ischemia in the absence of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis. The majority of these patients are ...

A new study suggests that a middle-aged person dying of coronary heart disease can be predicted by examining his eyes for minimized curvature of the arterioles and venules in the eyes ...

Single tibial artery revascularization was associated with similar improvements in dorsal and plantar microcirculation, concluded new data. Furthermore, roughly half of the revascularized feet in ...

The target vessel for invasive coronary microcirculation assessment was the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The choice of a guiding catheter was at the discretion of the operator.

The results furthermore show that minute reductions in coronary volume flow causes an exponential collapse of the coronary microcirculation and that epicardial revascularization alone is not ...

According to this study, the electronic cigarette does not affect the microcirculation or coronary circulation, but I'm not sure it's a true negative effect because the sample size is small, and ...
