Clinical, demographic, risk factor and angiographic profile of coronary slow flow phenomenon: A single centre experience

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 re...

Description
Summary: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. In this study, we aimed to determine the clinical, demographic, risk factor and angiographic profile of patients with CSFP. 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. 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
