Meta-Analysis
What are the genetic determinants and biochemical correlates of slow coronary flow?
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the genetic and biochemical factors associated with slow coronary flow.
Does not yet alter slow coronary flow management; leaves open genetic and biomarker roles pending prospective validation.
Slow coronary flow (SCF) is an angiographically observed phenomenon that is characterized by slow antegrade progression of radio-opaque contrast agent in the epicardial arteries and without any evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Published reports suggest that apart from having several established clinical and physical etiological factors, SCF might have some genetic determinants, along with some easily detectible biochemical correlates.
