چکیده
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Each year, an estimated 635,000 Americans have a new coronary attack (defined as first hospitalized myocardial infarction (MI) or coronary heart disease related death) and 280,000 have a recurrent attack [1]. Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a relatively common entity but its prevalence and relevance are not as well studied in the Middle Eastern region. In other parts of the World its prevalence varies from 1.5 to 5% Volume 9 Issue 4 2017
