Abstract

Coronary angiography in patients with chest pain can show slow contrast agent movement through the epicardial coronary arteries with no stenosis. When this occurs, it is called the slow coronary flow (SCF) phenomenon. We conducted this study to assess the demographic, clinical findings, ECG, echocardiography, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count in patients with the SCF phenomenon. The included data were compared between patients in the SCF group and patients in the normal coronary flow (NCF) group.
