Assessment Of Total Coronary Circulation Time Using TIMI Frame Count Method (TCCT-TIMI)

Assessment Of Total Coronary Circulation Time Using TIMI Frame Count Method In Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography

The aim of this study is to evaluate and describe the total coronary circulation time (TCCT) by using TIMI frame count method in patients performed coronary angiography. TCCT is described as an angiographic index which is the sum of the frame count of coronary artery and venous system. This study also evaluates the relationship between the diseases in arterial system such as coronary artery ectasia, coronary slow flow, coronary artery disease and coronary venous pathologies.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients whom performed coronary angiography with a suspicion of coronary artery disease

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of cerebrovascular disease, chronic inflamatuar disease, malignity, chronic kidney and hepatic disease
