| Popis: | Background: The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is an angiographic finding characterized by delayed distal vessel opacification in the absence of significant epicardial coronary stenosis. Although it is well-known to interventional cardiologists for approximately four decades, the etiopathogenesis still remains unclear. Aims and objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the clinical, demographic, risk factor and angiographic profile of patients with CSFP. Methods: Clinical, demographic, risk factor and angiographic profile were recorded in all consecutive patients who had undergone coronary angiography between September 2016 and March 2017 and showed features of CSFP and a control group who showed normal coronary flow (NCF). The CSFP was diagnosed on the basis of the corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count. Results: CSFP was significantly more prevalent in male patients. Among the traditional risk factors, there was significantly more prevalence of hypertension (31.25% versus 6.67%, p |
