Supraventriküler Taflikardi ve Troponin Pozitif Akut Koroner Sendromla Baflvuran Koroner Yavafl Akm Olgusu
Epikardiyal koroner arterlerin normal olup akmn yavafl olmas fenomeni sklkla asemptomatik bir gidifle sahiptir fakat, baz raporlar bu fenomenin angina pektoris, miyokardial iskemi ve infarktüse yol açabilece¤ ini göstermektedir. Biz, supraventriküler taflikardi ve Troponin pozitifli¤i ile baflvuran, daha önceden yaplan anjiografisinde tüm majör epikardial koroner arterinde yavafl akm saptanan bir hastay sunduk.
A Case of Slow Coronary Flow Presented with Supraventricular Tachycardia and Troponin Positive Acute Coronary Syndrome
Slow coronary flow (SCF) but normal epicardial coronary arteries phenomenon frequently have asymptomatic course, however, some reports have showed that this phenomenon may cause angina pectoris, myocardial ischemia and infarction. We described a patient presented with supraventricular tachycardia and Troponin elevation and whose coronary angiography's had previously revealed slow flow in entire major epicardial coronary arteries.
