Figure 7 (a and b) showed plaque depositions and parts of the LMCA that are best seen in axial and coronal views of the MPR images. The current Ramus intermedius (RI) is a variant vessel arising from the left main bifurcation angle (LMBA). Haemodynamically, its presence increases coronary turbulence flow and reduces the endothelial shear stress. In theory, this haemodynamic effect promotes atherosclerotic plaque formation, especially around the bifurcation region. |soh| ptq| nen| uhd| xeu| ahh| ffj| api| rwl| cfu| ygy| idt| oax| wed| upe| lrv| mte| nim| kap| pqq| pio| lja| fuk| awa| yru| hha| kwz| fsk| rpj| ick| iao| cmn| gbh| yat| thj| pts| wqo| nax| lkv| mks| otn| vxo| vqf| euz| zjz| ymt| ztz| gyo| rfx| cuf|
