Do collaterals visualized on coronary angiography impact left ventricle ejection fraction among Asian Indians presenting with acute coronary syndrome? The Deucalion Study
Abstract:Background The coronary collaterals have been ascribed as a potential alternative source of myocardial perfusion to the extent that some suggest it as a “natural bypass”! We proposed to evaluate the impact of the extent of collaterals on left ventricle ejection fraction among Asian Indians presenting with acute coronary syndrome. Methods This was a retrospective, all-comers study performed on consecutive 3614 patients presenting with the acute coronary syndrome. Angiograms were evaluated for collaterals graded… Show more
