Determinants of human coronary collaterals

Stefano F de Marchi. Curr Cardiol Rev. 2014 Feb.

Abstract

The human coronary collateral circulation is prognostically relevant. The understanding of collateral formation and its determinants may guide future therapeutic strategies aiming at promoting collateral growth and functionality, and hence reducing the global burden of coronary artery disease (CAD).
