متن کاملLeft Main Coronary Artery Disease: traditional risk factors in a study from northwest of Iran
Background & Aims: Significant left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is found in 3 to 6 percent of all patients who undergo coronary arteriography.

The aim of this study was to determine the traditional risk factor...
