OP-059 The Relationship between Adropin Levels and the Slow Coronary Flow Phenomenon




Objectives


There is accumulating evidence that inflammation plays a major role in the development of the slow coronary flow (CSF) phenomenon. In this study, we aimed to study the new biomarker adroin levels as it relates to CSF.




Methods


Patients who underwent coronary angiography before and had no significant epicardial coronary disease were included in the study. Patients who had Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction frame counts (TFCs) above the normal cutoffs were considered to have CSF and those within normal limits were considered to have normal coronary flow (NCF). The adropin levels and biochemical profiles of all patients were studied and analyzed with coronary flow parameters.
