Mechanisms of limited maximum coronary flow in severe single-vessel coronary artery disease in humans due to vertical steal

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

We evaluated the usefulness of a decrease in the average peak velocity from 4 to 10 minutes after infusion of dipyridamole for detecting myocardial ischemia in 50 patients, including patients with a prior myocardial infarction. The decrease in the average peak velocity from 4 to 10 minutes associated with vertical steal and combined with a coronary flow reserve of < 1.6 had a high predictive value for myocardial ischemia in patients with or without prior myocardial infarction.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
