May warrant consideration during angiography; single case leaves open whether slow flow is a treatable ischemia mechanism.
Case Report (n=1)
Coronary artery slow flow without focal spasm may represent a novel mechanism for myocardial ischemia that is responsive to sublingual nitroglycerin.
Burckhartt et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Angina pectoris and hypotension (n=1). Sublingual nitroglycerin was evaluated on Normalization of coronary artery slow flow. Sublingual administration of nitroglycerin normalized coronary artery slow flow in a patient experiencing angina and hypotension during coronary angiography.
