Risk factors of Iranian patients with three vessels disease candidate for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)

Objective: To determine the modifiable risk factors among patient with three vessels disease (3VD) who are candidate for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methodology: This study investigated one thousand coronary patient with 3VD (660 males and 340 females) with mean age 54.8±9.01 years. Information regarding outcome variable such as demographic and coronary risk factors parameters in patients referred to Jamaran Heart Hospital were collected. We used a questionnaire for collecting data from patients and their medical records. Results: About 66% of patients were male and 34% were female. Mean age of patients’ were 54.8±9.01 years. History of diabetes, Hypertension and smoking was positive in 38%, 32% and 40%, respectively. About 11% had BMI 30, 45.6% of patient had O+ (blood group), 87% of patient had total cholestrol 200, 81% had TG 200 and about 70% had LDL 100. There was statistically significant difference between sex with cigarette smoking, HTN, DM (P 0.05) and age with TG (P 0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study showed that hyperlipidemia, diabetes and smoking are most common modifiable risk factors of CAD in tripple vessel disease. Findings of this study provide more information on the database of the risk factors among patients with progressive coronary artery disease in Iran. Therefore, applying education for changing lifestyle including smoking cessation, controlling diabetes, healthy diet and exercise is necessary
