Abstract
Objective: To assess some clinical, paraclinical chacteristics in patients with intermediate coronary stenosis.
Method: Cross- sectional study, describe clinical and paraclinical characteristics of 100 patients with 151 intermediate stenosis of coronary arteries at Hue Central Hospital and analyze the correlations between those characteristics and the severity of the coronary artery lesions.
Results: The main risk factors for coronary artery disease in this group were hypertension (66%), dyslipidemia (53%) and diabetes(11%). Typical angina (74%) is the main clinical manifestion, most of chest pain at CCS 2 and 3. No electrocardiographic changes in 61% of cases, and no regional dyskinesia in 78% of cases.The average stenotic diameter is 57.27 ± 7.06%, the average stenotic area is 80.71 ± 7.51%, the average lesion length is 10.58 ± 5.40 mm. There was no correlation between the severity of the stenosis and the characteristics of chest pain, the grade of chest pain based on CCS, and electrocardiographic changes or regional dyskinesia.
Conclusion: Characteristics of angina, echocardiography, electrocardiogram did not play a significant role in assessing myocardial ischemia in patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis.
