Accuracy of Stent Measurements Using ECG-Gated Greyscale Intravascular Ultrasound Images: A Validation Study
2009, Ultrasound in Medicine and BiologyCitation Excerpt :IVUS has shown that epicardial coronary lumen areas increase during systole, despite the fact that the majority of coronary blood flow occurs during diastole (Weissman et al. 1995). This finding is consistent with animal model data and is thought to be due to the increase in intracoronary pressure (Reddy et al. 1993; Vatner et al. 1980). Standard greyscale IVUS acquires images throughout diastole and systole, whereas R-wave ECG-gated greyscale IVUS only acquires images during systole.
Determinants of coronary artery compliance in subjects with and without angiographic coronary artery disease
2002, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :In addition, we observed coronary C to be greater in subjects early after T. Previous studies using IVUS have established a systolic expansion in the cross-sectional area of major coronary arteries (8,9,14,15). There are a number of possible determinants of coronary expansion.
