Quantitatively, it is measured as increased Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count. TIMI frame count, introduced by Gibson [3], is a reproducible index of coronary flow. Although the exact processes are not known well yet, microvascular dysfunction or abnormal vasomotion is one of the most forthcoming mechanism underlying SCF phenomenon [2], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. Anxiety and depression has been shown to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, progression of atherosclerosis and death [11]. Accordingly we aimed to assess the possible relation of patients' anxiety and depression status on coronary flow pattern in patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries, and slow coronary flow phenomenon.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAnxietyDepressionCoronary AngiographySlow Coronary FlowEndotehlial FunctionSlow Run-offLetter10.1016/j.ijcard.2014.11.1531805557254382112-s2.0-84920518137Q1WOS:000346850100016Q1
