Local Low Shear Stress and Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients With Nonobstructive Coronary Atherosclerosis
Local hemodynamic factors are important determinants of atherosclerotic plaque development and progression. The goal of this study was to determine the association between low endothelial shear stress (ESS) and microvascular and epicardial endothelial dysfunction in patients with early atheroscleros...

Zusammenfassung: | Local hemodynamic factors are important determinants of atherosclerotic plaque development and progression.
The goal of this study was to determine the association between low endothelial shear stress (ESS) and microvascular and epicardial endothelial dysfunction in patients with early atherosclerosis.
Sixty-five patients (mean age 52 ± 11 years) with nonobstructive coronary atherosclerosis (luminal diameter stenosis |
