Coronary slow flow phenomenon is associated with angina pectoris and acute
coronary syndromes. Procalcitonin levels are correlated with the extent of
atherosclerosis in patients with coronary artery disease. We aimed to evaluate
the relationship between procalcitonin and coronary slow flow phenomenon. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="Gvde" style="line-height:200%;"> <span class="Yok"> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Material

slow flow and 42 healthy subjects. The coronary slow flow phenomenon is defined
as delayed coronary opacification in the absence of obstructive coronary artery
disease. Coronary slow flow is evaluated with Thrombolysis in Myocardial
Infarction frame count method. The Procalcitonin was calculated from the blood
to analyze. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="Gvde" style="line-height:200%;"> <span class="Yok"> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Results </span> </b> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">:
The C-reactive protein was significantly higher in the coronary slow flow group
than the control group. There was a positive and significant correlation
between the Mean Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction frame count and CRP
levels. There were no correlations between the C-reactive protein and
procalcitonin levels (r= -0.134, p= 0.204). </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p class="Gvde" style="line-height:200%;"> <span class="Yok"> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Conclusion </span> </b> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">:
Serum procalcitonin level was not associated with coronary slow flow. We have
shown the relationship between serum C-reactive protein and coronary slow flow. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Adıyaman University}
