Abstract The aim of this study was to confirm the usefulness of AAI to predict the diffuse and complex lesions in patients undergoing coronary angiography. This study was conducted on 100 patients in Police Authority Hospital and all patients underwent full history taking, clinical examination, ECG, and routine laboratory investigations in addition to coronary angiography and AAI measurements. Based on AAI values, patients were divided into study group (AAI value ≤0.9, 57patients) and control group (AAI value >0.9, 43patients). The presence of diabetes mellitus, history of claudicating pain, cholesterol and triglycerides level differed significantly between these two groups. As their presence were more frequent in patients with the lower AAI (group II patients),also group II characterized by the prevalence of worse LVEF%. |
