Abstract

This study aimed to investigate its clinical implications, risk factors, prognosis, and overall long-term outcomes. Demographic profiles, various clinical characteristics, and clinical outcomes were compared between 614 patients with coronary slow flow (CSF) and 428 patients with normal coronary artery. The incidence of CSF was found to be 2.65%. Significant differences were observed between patients with CSF and control subjects in terms of sex, chest tightness, hyperlipidemia, smoking history, alcohol consumption, age, height, weight, body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and body surface area (P < 0.05). CSF (hazard ratio: 1.531; 95% confidence interval: 1.064-2.202; p = 0.022) proved to be independent prognostic predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Kaplan-Meier survival evaluations for MACEs presented a worser outcome for patients with CSF. Patients with CSF are at high risk for cardiovascular events and experience generally poor clinical outcomes.
