Abstract :
Background: In this study, factors contributing to abnormal angiographic findings in coronary
vessels were evaluated in a training heart center in Tehran, Iran.
Methods and Materials: In this cross-sectional study, 280 patients under angiography in a training
heart center in Tehran, Iran, in 2012 were enrolled and the frequency distributions of
demographic characteristics and clinical factors were evaluated and compared between patients
with and without abnormal angiographic findings to determine the factors contributing to
abnormal angiographic findings.
Results: The contributing factors to abnormal angiographic findings in coronary arteries were older
age, higher Body Mass Index, higher systolic blood pressure and pulse rate, lower ejection
fraction, history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, typical chest pain, and ST elevation in the
EKG (p value < 0.05).
Conclusions: It may be concluded that coronary artery disease is a multi-factorial disease and
demographic, clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic characteristics as well as
previous history of some diseases are effective in its development.
