Chronic traumatic tricuspid insufficiency.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Slow coronary flow in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease is an angiographic finding that could easily be detected by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame counts. On the other hand, impaired renal function is a frequent problem. We searched the association between the 2 entitie...
