Left 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. LMCAD usually requires an emergent surgery that has a higher rate of mortality and complications. The risk factors of left main involvement in previous studies are controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the traditional risk factor...
متن کامل[Left main coronary artery disease].
There are many causes of left main coronary artery disease, the first of which is atherosclerosis. Other rarer causes may be observed, such as acute and chronic occlusions, spasm and primary and secondary dissection. The prevalence of stenosis of the left main coronary artery at coronary angiography is about 5%. The risk factors are the same as for coronary artery disease. The symptoms are angi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Men and Women Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Objective: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is associated with increased morbidity and mortality therefore, interventions that halt or reverse ventricular remodeling are expected to prevent these clinical outcomes. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of cardiac rehabilitation program on cardiac remodeling process in patients with coronary artery disease and then compare the results b...
متن کاملRevascularization of left main coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery disease with left main stenosis is associated with the highest mortality of any coronary lesion. Studies in the 1970s and 1980s comparing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and medical therapy showed a significant survival benefit with revascularization. In the angioplasty era, initial experience with percutaneous intervention was associated with poor clinical outcomes. As a...
متن کاملTreatment of Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.
When coronary arteriography was developed in the early 1960s, the very high risk associated with obstructive left main coronary artery disease became evident; this risk was related to the large volume of myocardium supplied by this vessel. Among patients receiving the medical therapy available at the time, the 5-year mortality approached 60%, and the survivors usually had severe symptoms, inclu...
