A Yale School of Medicine team finds that women who underwent a common procedure called coronary angiography (CA) were more likely to receive an accurate diagnosis with the use of coronary function ...

The increased coronary artery vessel wall thickness was independently associated with elevated left ventricular mass index and impaired diastolic function. Coronary artery vessel wall thickness was ...

In patients with angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA), routine ad hoc coronary function testing (CFT) during initial invasive angiography combined with a disease-specific treatment ...

PARIS, France—Coronary function testing (CFT) done during the index angiography in patients who have angina with no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) is not only feasible and safe but also ...

The coronary circulation is regulated by an intricate balance of epicardial conduit vessels and downstream microvasculature. Haemodynamic forces such as pressure gradients, blood viscosity and ...

Multivessel coronary artery disease is any form of coronary artery disease (CAD) that affects several major arteries. CAD is the most common type of heart disease in the United States, and in ...

Using single cell technology, a new study sheds light on the significance of genetic risk factors for, and the diversity of cells involved in, the development of coronary artery disease. The ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) includes two primary forms: obstructive CAD (OCAD), caused by plaque buildup in the arteries, and nonobstructive CAD (NOCAD), often due to artery function issues like ...

Arteries are the primary blood vessels responsible for transporting oxygen-rich blood from the heart to every organ and tissue in the body. This circulation is essential because oxygen fuels cellular ...
