Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left and Right Ventricular Function in Patients with Coronary Slow Flow Syndrome: A Comparative Study.

The Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenon is a syndrome of normal coronary anatomy and delayed progression of contrast medium through the coronary vessels. This research attempts to analyze and compare the systolic and diastolic function of the left and right ventricle in primary Slow Flow and Normal Coronary Flow.Two groups of primary Slow Coronary Flow (33 people) and Normal Coronary Flow (11 people) were included and the systolic and diastolic function of the ventricles was analyzed and compared between them.In the control group 18% of patients had mild and in the case group 24.2% mild, and 3.1% had moderate left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (P >0.05). The frequency distribution of the left and right ventricular systolic dysfunction was similar in the two groups.There was no statistically significant difference between two groups and in the association of cardiac dysfunction, it may be reasonable to investigate other causes.
