Abstract

Abstract: Objective To analyze the influencing factors of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in patients with early coronary atherosclerosis. Methods A total of 127 consecutive patients (69 males and 58 females, and mean age 59 years) with suspected coronary artery disease confirmed early coronary atherosclerosis (coronary stenosis＜30%) with coronary computed tomographic angiography and coronary angiography were enrolled between June 2013 and June 2015. Clinical data were recorded, and ankle brachial index (ABI) and flow mediated dilatation were measured. The patients were divided into CAC group (CAC score＞0) and non-CAC group (CAC score=0). Results In the univariant analyses, compared with the non-CAC group, CAC group patients were associated with older age and a higher proportion of hypertension(both P<0.05). ABI in non-CAC group was significant higher than that in CAC group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that age and ABI significantly and independently correlated with the occurrence of CAC. Conclusion Age and ABI were strongly associated with the CAC in early coronary atherosclerosis patients.

Key words: coronary artery calcification, coronary artery calcification score, ankle brachial index, hypertension, coronary atherosclerosis
