In patients with mild CAD nifedipine substantially suppresses disease progression as shown by the appearance of new lesions detectable by quantitative coronary arteriography. 425 patients showing mild coronary artery disease CAD on arteriography were enrolled in a multicentre trial and randomised to treatment with nifedipine 80 mg/day or placebo. The two groups were well
Increased time on dialysis has been associated with angiographic progression of coronary artery disease and noninvasive measures of coronary calcification in
coronary artery calcium CCS progression after CABG. Methods We retrospectively measured the CCS Agatston score AS volume score VS and mass score MS of 39 patients before and after CABG. The annualised CCS change and annualised CCS percent change of each coronary artery coronary artery segments proximal and distal to anastomosis were
Coronary artery disease has shown a dramatic increase worldwide. According to the current guidelines optimal medical therapy OMT is recommended as the first line treatment for stable angina with revascularisation being reserved for those with persistent or progressive symptoms despite intensive medical therapy. We report the case of a young man with stable angina who
Modification of the progression of coronary artery disease. Current theories of atherogenesis consider oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein LDL as the central event that initiates and propagates coronary artery disease.4 5 Properties of oxidised LDL which contribute to its atherogenic potential are its chemotaxis for circulating monocytes inhibition of tissue
Jan 01 2004 We describe the case of a 39 year old human immunodeficiency virus HIV infected man with angiographically documented rapid progression of coronary artery disease. Over a time course of only 2 months he developed high grade stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The risk of myocardial infarction is increased in patients with HIV
Rapid progression of minimal intimal thickness by more than 0.5 mm during the first year is a powerful predictor of all cause mortality myocardial infarction and later angiographic abnormalities. Thus IVUS has become useful in the diagnosis and prognosis of CAV in cardiac transplant patients.
Rapid progression of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection Received April 30 2004 / Accepted July 30 2004 Abstract We describe the case of a 39 year old human immunodeficiency virus HIV infected man with angio graphically documented rapid progression of coronary artery disease.
Sep 08 2019 Coronary artery disease CAD is the leading cause of deaths in both developing and developed countries with the annual deaths more than 17.5 million worldwide Rapid angiographic stenotic progression is characterized by a rapid plaque progression and a consequent luminal obstruction at nontarget locations
Quantification of rate of coronary artery disease progression by a new method of angiographic analysis American Heart Journal Vol. 121 No. 4 Heart Vol. 66 No. 3
Dec 06 2021 Objective It is essential to understand whether coronary artery ectasia CAE progresses over time because the patients might be under the risk of coronary rupture and stent implant should be avoided if ectatic changes progress.Methods A consecutive series of 99 CAE patients who had undergone coronary angiography at least twice were enrolled and followed

Oct 12 2021 Introduction. Compared with the anatomical stenosis of the coronary artery functional assessment can more accurately evaluate and predict the progression of coronary heart disease .In the catheterization laboratory invasive coronary angiography ICA images can only qualitatively assess the degree of stenosis but cannot evaluate the physiological

Sep 06 2017 The progression of early atherosclerotic lesions to clinically manifest enlarging atherosclerotic plaques such as those causing exertional angina is often more rapid in persons with coronary
The angiographic re evaluation revealed a rapid progression of stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty with stenting was successfully performed. The outcome of patients with insignifi cant angiographic stenosis and no major risk factor is not necessarily favourable.

Feb 14 2006 Fig. 2 The upper left panel is a coronary angiographic image of clinically nonsignificant obstructive disease of the left anterior descending artery. Lettered arrows identify the locations of 4 IVUS cross sections as follows. A In an area that appeared normal with angiography a nonobstructive plaque is revealed containing a necrotic or lipid core covered by

The left main coronary artery gives rise to the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex coronary artery. Complete visualization of these arteries and their branches requires care and rigor to ensure complete anatomical documentation. Right Coronary Artery LAO View. Initial angiographic imaging of the RCA in this view LAO 30
Jul 09 2021 Associations between HNA and angiographic severity of CAD. Significant differences were observed between the HNA level and the number of stenotic coronary artery vessels with significantly higher
Progression of coronary artery disease was variable in both time of onset and rate. Earlier detection did not result in more rapid progression. Coronary events severe enough for retransplantation n = 8 and/or death from coronary artery disease n = 9 occurred in 15 patients of whom four underwent retransplantation.

In the 65 patients with persistent or increasing angina progression occurred in 51 78 over a mean period of 24 months. Apart from the tendency of high grade stenoses ≤98 to progress to complete occlusion no measured clinical laboratory or angiographic variable showed any significant effect on progression of coronary artery disease.
