Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is well-recognized, angiographic finding of abnormal coronary dilatation. The role of inflammation in atherosclerosis is increasingly well known. However, the association between inflammation and CAE has been controversial. Method: Fifty-five patients with CAE and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), 38 with obstructive CAD, and 33 angiographically...
Background. The pathophysiological mechanism in cardiac syndrome X has been suggested as impairment in normal endothelial function of the coronary microvasculature, resulting in inadequate flow reserve. However, despite the extensive studies, the precise mechanisms in cardiac syndrome X remain unclear. Purpose. The present study was, therefore, to investigate whether inflammatory cells and markers...
Background: Resistin is a novel cysteine-rich protein that plays a role in the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in rodents, while its role in humans is unclear. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important risk predictor for coronary heart disease, and it can also modify the expression of genes involved in atherogenesis. Statins have been demonstrated to possess lipid lowering effects...
