“…Following that, a full-text review on 45 studies was performed, out of which 23 more articles were excluded. Eventually, a total of 22 articles that met the inclusion criteria [ 9 , 15 – 35 ] were included. The flowchart in Figure 1 shows the detailed process and reasons for exclusion.…”

“…Meanwhile, the CSF group had a higher BMI and SBP, with lower HDL, while there were no significant differences in the DBP, HTN, DM, family history of CAD, TG, TC, and LDL. The results of the CAG were pooled [ 9 , 17 , 20 , 22 , 25 , 26 , 30 , 33 , 34 , 37 ], suggesting that among the three coronary arteries, left anterior descending artery involvement was observed in 73% of patients, left circumflex artery involvement in 63%, and right coronary artery involvement in 54%. In 43% of patients with CSF, all three vessels were affected, while two-vessel and one-vessel diseases were observed in 31% and 26% of cases, respectively.…”

“…In recent years, a growing body of research has focused on the effects of CSF on left ventricular (LV) function. Echocardiography, the method of choice for evaluating heart function, is being widely used to assess LV function in patients with CSF [ 9 ]. However, definite alterations in the echocardiographic parameters of LV function in patients with CSF remain inconsistent.…”

Background Coronary slow flow (CSF) is an angiographic finding defined as delayed distal vessel perfusion without severe stenosis of the epicardial coronary arteries. However, definite alterations in left ventricular (LV) function in patients with CSF remains inconsistent. This study aimed to clarify the changes in LV function in patients with CSF and explore the factors that may influence LV function. Methods PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched. Standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the LV function parameters were calculated. Subgroup analysis, meta-regression analysis, and correlation analysis were performed to explore the factors influencing LV function. Results Twenty-two studies (1101 patients with CSF) were included after searching three databases. In patients with CSF, LV ejection function in patients with CSF was marginally lower (61.8%; 95% CI: 61.0%, 62.7%), global longitudinal strain was decreased (−18.2%; 95% CI: −16.7%, −19.7%). Furthermore, left atrial diameter, left atrial volume index, and E/e′ were significantly increased, while E/A and e′ were significantly decreased. The mean thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count (TFC) was linearly associated with LV function; the larger the mean TFC, the greater the impairment of LV function. Conclusions Left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions were impaired in patients with CSF, and this impairment was aggravated with increasing mean TFC.

“…These markers are relatively limited due to their inadequate specificity. Research on novel echocardiography-based techniques for the diagnosis and evaluation of CSF has become a research hotspot in recent years [ 34 , 35 ], while the application of other imaging methods in the clinical and scientific research fields of CSF is rarely reported. Thus, non-invasive diagnosis of CSF is recommended for future in-depth studies.…”

Background Studies on coronary slow flow are receiving increasing attention, but objective evaluations are still lacking. The purpose of this study was to visualize the current status and research hotspots of coronary slow flow through bibliometric analysis. Methods All relevant publications on coronary slow flow from 2003 to 2022 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database and analyzed by VOSviewer and CiteSpace visualization software. Year of publication, journal, country/region, institution, and first author of each paper, as well as research hotspots were identified. Results A total of 913 publications were retrieved. The journal with the most publications was Coronary Artery Disease. The country/region with the most publications was Turkey, followed by China and the United States. The institution with the largest publication volume was Turkey Specialized Higher Education Research Hospital. The author with the largest publication volume was Chun-Yan Ma from China. Keyword analysis indicated that “treatment and prognosis”, “pathogenesis and risk factors” and “diagnosis” were the clustering centers of coronary slow flow, and the research hotspots gradually changed with time, from pathogenesis to treatment and prognosis. Conclusion Future research will focus on the search for effective and non-invasive detection indicators and treatments of coronary slow flow. Collaboration needs to be enhanced between different institutions or countries/regions, which would improve clinical outcomes for patients with coronary slow flow.
