The Clinical Research of Risk Factors of Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis in Coronary Heart Disease / 医学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of concomitant atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis(ARAS)and coronary heart disease(CAD).Methods In the study period 247 patients with known or suspected CAD underwent combined cardiac catheterization and renal artery angiography.Results Incidence of ARAS was 20%(44/220)in CAD.Logistic regression analysis showed only age,degree of coronery artery stenosis,peripheral atherosclerosis disease were independently predictor of ARAS.Conclusions Renal artery angiography should be performed routinely to indentify ARAS,especially in the patients with mutil-vessel lesions,old age and peripheral atherosclerosis disease.
