Abstract

The coronary slow flow phenomenon is an angiographic finding characterized by delayed distal vessel opacification in the absence of significant epicardial coronary disease. Slow coronary flow patients constitute a definite subset within the wide spectrum of syndrome X and that the phenomenon of slow coronary flow could be responsible for myocardial ischemia or infarction. We present a patinet with angina pectoris, positive treadmill test, dynamic ST segment alterations in ECG and sustained ventricular tachycardia associated with coronary flow otherwise normal coronary angiography.

Özet

Yavaş koroner akım, belirgin epikardiyal koroner arter hastalığının yokluğunda gecikmiş distal damar yatağı opafikasyonu ile karakterize anjiografik bir bulgudur. Yavaş koroner akım geniş sendrom X yelpazesi içinde farklı bir alt grup oluşturmakta ve miyokart iskemisi ile infarktüsünden sorumlu olabilmektedir. Bu yazıda, angina pektoris, pozitif efor testi, dinamik ST segment değişimleri ile birlikte sustained ventriküler takikardi atağı saptanan ve koroner yavaş akım dışında normal epikardiyal koroner arterler saptanan olgu sunulmaktadır.
