Treatment was given immediately after coronary occlusion and for 2 subsequent days.

Conclusions: The majority of coronary plaque was noncalcified, particularly in younger individuals.

Most existing coronary risk assessment methods are based on baseline data only.

Hypertension and obesity are risk factors for coronary heart diseases in adults.

Results: In healthy adults, coronary arteries dilated and flow increased with stress.

Left main coronary artery disease is a high-risk condition with significant mortality.

Results were not materially altered after control for nonlipid coronary risk factors.

Objectives: To evaluate clinical outcomes after the use of long coronary stents.

Deaths, adverse events, and acute coronary syndromes were similar in both groups.

Thus, Ox-LDL may play a possible role in pathogenesis of coronary spasm.

Patients and methods: Eighteen patients were studied prospectively after undergoing coronary revascularization.

However, the relation between coronary artery disease and endothelin release remains unclear.

Conclusion: We report for the first time, patch-clamp recordings from coronary pericytes.

Methods: 22 patients were operated on with standard coronary artery bypass grafting.

The control group consisted of 42 patients who had normal coronary arteries.

Background: Acute coronary syndrome continues to have significant long-term morbidity and mortality.
