Abstract

Background and purpose: Endothelial dysfunction may play a role in the pathogenesis of the slow coronary flow (SCF) phenomenon. A detailed examination of blood cellular components has not been performed for this condition. We investigated the relationship between SCF and whole blood cell counts.
