We describe a case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection that gave rise to post infarction unstable angina. An ambiguous angiographic appearance was shown by intracoronary ultrasound to arise from an extensive coronary dissection. The dissection membrane separating true and false lumina and feat

Some patients with anginal chest pain and normal coronary arteries exhibit a paradoxical increase in coronary flow velocity after termination of acetylcholine infusion. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this paradoxical increase in the flow velocity is associated with the impaired mic
The effect of aortic valve replacement on coronary flow velocity during atrial pacing and papaverine-induced-resistance vessel dilatation was tested in a patient with aortic stenosis. Although systolic flow reversal disappeared early after the valve replacement, rapid atrial pacing caused myocardial
The use of abciximab during percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with unstable angina (UA) prevents the postintervention enzyme surge and improves clinical outcomes, possibly by improving microcirculatory function. The aim of this quantitative myocardial blush grade (MBG) study was t
