- In another study, 1 they used a more precise system by classifying the coronary vessels as non/slightly/moderately/severely/totally obstructed depending on the grade of obstruction in percental gradations from no to total stenosis, but they concentrated on the major arteries and branches.

Blood vessels3
- Coronary artery disease is a significant cardiovascular condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of these vital blood vessels. (edu.au)
- Researchers identified critical biological processes that can go wrong inside the linings of our blood vessels and contribute to the dangerous plaque buildup responsible for the disease. (augustafreepress.com)
- Smooth muscle cells that make up the bulk of our blood vessels play important roles in coronary artery disease. (augustafreepress.com)
Angina1
- Decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms. (uofmhealth.org)
Patients5
- Keeping up connections -- and forming new ones -- is a critical part of cardiac rehab for patients like Neyhard, says Yale professor Matthew Burg, PhD, a clinical psychologist who researches how stress and emotional factors affect cardiovascular disease . (webmd.com)
- The objective of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of antithrombotic therapy for arterial fibrillation in patients with stable coronary disease. (physiciansweekly.com)
- The research concluded that antithrombotic rivaroxaban monotherapy was non-inferior to combination therapy for efficacy and superior to the combination therapy for safety in patients with arterial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease. (physiciansweekly.com)
- Serum secreted phosphoprotein 1 level is associated with plaque vulnerability in patients with coronary artery disease. (bvsalud.org)
- This study was designed to explore predictive biomarkers of vulnerable plaque in patients with coronary artery disease . (bvsalud.org)
CABG2
- SAN FRANCISCO - Five-year outcomes from a major randomized trial provide at least a partial answer to whether coronary stenting for left main (LM) disease may be better than coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or vice versa, for preventing serious clinical outcomes over the long haul. (medscape.com)
- As previously reported , EXCEL showed PCI with the everolimus-eluting Xience stent (Abbott Vascular) to be noninferior to CABG for treating LM coronary lesions of low- to mid-range complexity. (medscape.com)
Angioplasty2
- Coronary Artery Disease: Angioplasty or Bypass Surgery? (medlineplus.gov)
- If you've had angioplasty or bypass surgery to improve blood flow to your coronary arteries, those arteries will be less likely to get narrowed again if you quit smoking. (healthlinkbc.ca)
Plaque3
- A computed tomography (CT) scan that looks in the coronary arteries for calcium buildup and plaque. (cdc.gov)
- Plaque deposits can clog the coronary arteries and make them stiff and irregular. (medtronic.com)
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition caused by plaque buildup along the inner walls of the coronary arteries. (uofmhealth.org)
Severity2
- Several scoring systems have tried to determine the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) to investigate the connection between CAD severity and laboratory parameters. (dovepress.com)
- The coronary score delivers a quite simple but very precise tool for the quantification of CAD severity. (dovepress.com)
Mortality3
- 1 We used these records to trace 5654 men who were born as singletons in the six districts of East Hertfordshire between 1911 and 1930 and who had both birth weight and weight at 1 year recorded to determine mortality from cardiovascular disease. (bmj.com)
- Despite the decrease in overall mortality from coronary artery disease, the number of out-of-hospital deaths from myocardial infarction is in the range of 60% of all infarct related case fatalities. (bmj.com)
- Coronary atherosclerotic disease is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity due to major cardiovascular events in the United States and abroad. (bvsalud.org)
Symptoms4
- What are the symptoms of coronary artery disease? (cdc.gov)
- Because coronary artery disease (clogged arteries) can develop over many years, symptoms are often not felt until blockages are severe and life-threatening. (medtronic.com)
- Talk to your doctor if you think you have symptoms of coronary artery disease. (medtronic.com)
- He or she may want to test you for coronary artery disease, especially if you have signs or symptoms of narrowed arteries. (mayoclinichealthsystem.org)
Artery dissection1
- The differential diagnosis should include recanalized thrombus, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and bridging collaterals [ 3 , 4 ]. (hindawi.com)
Main coronary1
- Thereafter these channels merge again in order to form the main coronary lumen after twisting along anomalous artery axis [ 2 ]. (hindawi.com)
Blockage1
- Monitors blockage and flow of blood through the coronary arteries. (cdc.gov)
Abstract1
- Abstract Background Kawasaki Disease (KD) can cause potentially life-threatening coronary arteritis in young children, and has a likely infectious etiology. (figshare.com)
Cardiovascular diseases2
- It is the most common of the cardiovascular diseases. (wikipedia.org)
- Coronary artery disease is one of the cardiovascular diseases with a significant impact in developed and undeveloped countries. (edocr.com)
Stable1
- Lesions that cause blockages in the coronary arteries may be stable or unstable. (medscape.com)
