The impact of coronary tortuosity on coronary atherosclerosis remains unclear. This study was performed to determine to the relationship between coronary tortuosity and the presence of coronary atherosclerosis.
Tortuosity and the presence of coronary atherosclerosis in the main coronary arteries were evaluated. The coronary artery was divided into non-tortuous and tortuous segments. The incidence of coronary atherosclerosis between the two segments was compared.
The prevalence of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis was significantly lower in the tortuous than non-tortuous segment.
The prevalence of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis is lower in the coronary tortuous than non-tortuous segment, indicating that coronary tortuosity might be considered a protective factor for atherosclerosis.
冠状动脉迂曲对冠状动脉粥样硬化的影响仍不明确。本研究旨在确定冠状动脉迂曲与冠状动脉粥样硬化存在之间的关系。
评估主要冠状动脉的迂曲情况及冠状动脉粥样硬化的存在情况。将冠状动脉分为非迂曲段和迂曲段。比较两段之间冠状动脉粥样硬化的发生率。
迂曲段冠状动脉粥样硬化狭窄的患病率显著低于非迂曲段。
冠状动脉迂曲段冠状动脉粥样硬化狭窄的患病率低于非迂曲段,表明冠状动脉迂曲可能被视为动脉粥样硬化的一个保护因素。
