There are multiple definitions:
hyperemic trans-stent gradient(English)
- annotated hyperemic pullback recording to co-register the anatomical landmarks during fluoroscopy guided pullback of the pressure wire (distal and proximal stent edges, the position of relevant side branches and the tip of the guiding catheter, etc.) permits calculation of this gradient
- FFR, PCI, PIOS
- Coronary circulation
hypertriglyceridemia(English)
- a commonly encountered lipid abnormality frequently associated with other lipid and metabolic derangements. Dietary triglycerides are absorbed by the small intestine, secreted into the lymph system, and enter the systemic circulation as chylomicrons via the thoracic duct. Muscle and adipose tissue remove some of the triglyceride from the chylomicron and the chylomicron remnant is taken up by the liver and metabolized into a cholesterol rich lipoprotein. Although most of the triglyceride found in blood is absorbed from the small intestine, the liver produces and secretes a small amount of triglyceride
