Recurrence of coronary events: endothelial dysfunction as amediator

Abstract

There is evidence that after a coronary event, an inflammatory response is generated, increasing the endothelium dysfunction, which may motivate a new short-term coronary event. Recurrence of ischemic phenomena is described in the vessel involved in the initial event and other vascular territories. Potentially therapeutic physiopathological modifications do not have a clinical impact applicable to usual cardiological practice.
