چکیده
The prevalence of coronary artery stenoses 2 70% or left main stenosis > 50% was evaluated in 20,391 patients who underwent angiography in the Coronary Artery Surgery Study from 1975-1979. After the patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction were excluded, the disease prevalence in the 8157 patients with definite angina, probable angina, and nonspecific chest pain was 93%, 66% and 14% in men and 72%, 36% and 6% in women (p < 0.001). The age and sex of the patients and character of chest pain were important determinants of disease prevalence and severity. Left main or three-vessel coronary disease occurred in more than 50% of middle-aged

The objective of this report is to present a young patient with combined mitral valve and coronary artery disease to illustrate these challenges.In this report, we present a 47-year-old man with longstanding HIV infection who was referred with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and profound...
متن کاملDiagnostic Quantification of CASS (Coronary Artery Surgery Study) Clinical and Exercise Test Results in Determining Presence and Extent of Coronary Artery Disease
Multivariate linear discriminant function analysis on maximal exercise treadmill and angiographic data from 500 men with definite angina, 584 men with probable angina and 267 men with nonspecific chest pain identified independent predictors of presence and extent of coronary disease. We used the discriminant function to develop a clinical risk index and a clinical and exercise risk index for ea...

Background: The relationship between Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and the prevalence of Renal Artery Stenosis (RAS) has been demonstrated. Despite high incidence of heart diseases and high frequency of CAD risk factors among Iranian population, this relation has not been clearly determined. This study estimated the prevalence of RAS and its determinants in Iranian angiographic candidates. We a...
متن کاملPro oxidant and antioxidant status in patients with coronary artery disease proven angiographic ally
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the major cause of death in both industrial and developing countries. Evidences suggest that increase in free radical generation and/or attenuated antioxidant defenses may be involved in the pathogenesis of CAD. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the plasma measures of oxidative stress in patients with coronary artery disease documente...
