A Study of Coronary Arteries Diseases by Cardiac Catheterization

Abstract

This was descriptive analytic prospective study, aimed to study coronary arteries diseases by cardiac catheterization, problem of the study was coronary artery diseases become common and incidence all age especially elder people and causes completely block lead to death, carried out in cardiac catheterization department of Ahmed Gasim Hospital during the period from November 2021 to June 2022. A total of 50 patients with coronary artery disease (50%) males and (50%) females. The results found that most areas of abnormalities 15(30%) in [LAD, LCX, RCA (3VD)], 13(26%) in LAD, most patients had PCI in LAD were 19(38%), there was statistically significant correlation between areas of abnormalities and type of catheterization (p-value = 0.005), between areas of abnormalities and area of PCI (p-value = 0.005) and there was statistically insignificant correlation between areas of abnormalities, gender, age group and risk factors (p-value > 0.05) The study concluded that most patients had abnormalities in LAD, and [LAD, LCX, RCA (3VD)], with diagnostic catheterization, had PCI in LAD, there was statistically significant correlation between areas of abnormalities and type of cauterization, between area of abnormalities and areas of PCI. The study recommended that training and education for radiologic specialist on CCTA should continue to increase the number of radiologic centres that performing the CCTA to avoid radiation hazards and complications that involved in cardiac catheterization due to invasive procedure during exams.
