On the wide spectrum of abnormalities in the coronary arteries of Whipple's disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cardiac hypertrophy is associated with numerous alterations in the coronary circulation. OBJECTIVE:To test the hypothesis that, during angioplasty, the coronary collateral blood flow during repetitive coronary occlusions increases more in hypertensives than it does in normotensives. METHODS:We studied 34 p...
