Decreased carotid intima-media thickness in patients with coronary artery ectasia compared with patients with coronary artery disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Coronary heart disease is mainly caused by the effects of obstruction to blood flow in the coronary arteries from discrete mural lesions that encroach into the lumen and usually occur in arteries that are involved by atherosclerosis. Even though the level of certain lipoproteins is indisputably related to th...
