Increased Adventitial Mast Cells in a Patient with Coronary Spasm

Abstract

ALTHOUGH coronary spasm is an important component of a number of ischemic cardiac syndromes,1 2 3 4 5 6 its cause or causes remain ill-defined. Numerous hypotheses have been considered to explain the mechanisms producing focal vascular hyperreactivity. Our investigations of the autonomic nervous system, and both measurement of thromboxane A2 metabolites and treatment with potent cyclooxygenase inhibitors failed to support the role of thromboxanes in the pathogenesis of coronary spasm.7 8 9 10 Accordingly, we studied the possibility that cellular infiltration of the vessel wall could be a source of vasoconstrictor factors,11 and have now examined coronary vessels in a patient with well-characterized coronary spasm and . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
