Echocardiographic and laboratory findings in coronary slow flow phenomenon: Cross-sectional study and review

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders May 13, 2021

Mohammadzad MHS, Khademvatani K, Gardeshkhah S, et al. - Researchers undertook this cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study to determine the echocardiographic as well as laboratory findings in the patients demonstrating coronary sow-flow phenomenon (CSFP; defined as slow passage of the contrast injected into the coronary arteries without distal obstruction of the vessel) in angiography. Eligible patients were split into the study group exhibiting the CSFP and the control group showing normal epicardial coronary arteries. Findings revealed that men, smokers, hypertensive patients, and patients with high BMI, all significantly more commonly had CSFP. Moreover, platelet count, MPV, LDL, and FBS were significantly higher in these patients. Some other laboratory variables were also identified to be higher in these patients. Given the echocardiographic results, experts also found mild diastolic dysfunction and low global longitudinal strain in the study group.
