Coronary Tortuosity Index vs. Angle Measurement Method for the Quantification of the Tortuosity of Coronary Arteries in Non-Obstructive Coronary Disease
Journal: Diagnostics
Year: 2023

Coronary tortuosity has been recognized as a potential pathophysiological mechanism in the development of non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to examine the role of two coronary tortuosity measurement methods in the detection of clinically significant coronary tortuosity. The study included 160 patients with angina symptoms and myocardial ischemia detected by cardiac stress tests in chronic settings and those diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome. After coro
