Abstract Purpose of Review Atherosclerotic plaque deposition within the coronary vessel
wall leads to arterial stenosis and severe catastrophic events over time. Identification of …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death. Preventative therapies
that reduce CVD are most effective when targeted to individuals at high risk. Current risk …

The hemodynamics conditioned by coronary geometry may play an important role in the
creation of a pro-atherogenic environment in specific locations of the coronary tree. The aim …

Recent studies have suggested a relationship between wide left coronary artery bifurcation
(left anterior descending [LAD]-left circumflex [LCx]) angle and coronary artery disease …

There is a growing interest in using Computed Tomography (CT) and Hounsfield Unit (HU)
measurements in identifying and assessing non-calcified plaque; however, the complex …

Aims Anatomic series commonly report the extent and severity of coronary artery disease
(CAD), regardless of location. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in …

Background Accelerated stenotic flow (AsF) in the entire left anterior descending coronary
artery (LAD), assessed by transthoracic enhanced color Doppler (E-Doppler TTE), can …

Background. The probable impact of growth hormone (GH) as a heart failure (HF) treatment
strategy is still less investigated. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relation of 3‐month GH …

Computed Tomography provides a practical means of diagnosing coronary artery disease in
patients, but requires improvements in image quality through optimization of scan …

Background: a wider left main bifurcation angle (LMBA) has been linked to severe plaque
development in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD). This study aimed to …
