Analysis of the angiographic features and the cardiovascular risk factors in elderly patients with coronary heart disease / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the correlation of the characteristics of coronary lesion and the risk factors to the coronary heart diseases using angiography techniques. Methods Coronary heart disease (CHD) patients were divided into two groups according to the ages of patients elderly group (67 cases, 60 88 years); non elderly group(61 cases, 25 59 yeas). Angiography was performed in all CHD patients and their risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression. Results The coronary changes were characterized in most patients by multi vessels lesion(76 1%) in elderly group, while by single vessel lesion (54 1%) in non elderly group. Stenosis of the coronary artery in the elderly group was severer than that in the non elderly. Logistic regression showed that ageing, sex, hyperlipemia were the risk factors for CHD( P
