To determine the clinical and coronary angiographic characteristics of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and the patterns and determinants of CAD treatment in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
We conducted a cross-sectional study including 242 patients at 3 hospitals in KSA between June 2018 and June 2019. We included all patients aged ≥18 years diagnosed with CAD on angiography. We carried out a multinomial logistic regression to ascertain the determinants of treatment patterns and treatment modalities. Covariates for this multivariate analysis were selected based on univariate regressions.
The study population had a mean ± standard deviation of 58.3 ± 11.8 years, and 66.1% were male. The most frequent cardiovascular risk factor was diabetes (58.7%). Lesions involving the left anterior descending were reported among 68.6%, left circumflex among 51.2%, and right coronary arteries (RCA) among 48.8% of our patients. The most common treatment was the best medical therapy (lifestyle modifications and medical management), prescribed to 69.8% of patients. Patients aged ≤60 years with the left main disease or disease of the ramus had a higher likelihood of undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Contrarily, patients with RCA lesions were more likely to undergo a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Patient age and anatomical localization of coronary atherosclerotic lesions were the main determinants of treatment with CABG or PCI.
确定沙特阿拉伯王国(KSA)冠心病(CAD)患者的临床和冠状动脉造影特征,以及 CAD 治疗的模式和决定因素。
我们进行了一项横断面研究,纳入了 2018 年 6 月至 2019 年 6 月在 KSA 的 3 家医院的 242 例患者。我们纳入了所有经血管造影诊断为 CAD 的年龄≥18 岁的患者。我们进行了多项逻辑回归分析,以确定治疗模式和治疗方式的决定因素。该多变量分析的协变量是根据单变量回归选择的。
研究人群的平均年龄±标准差为 58.3±11.8 岁,66.1%为男性。最常见的心血管危险因素是糖尿病(58.7%)。我们的患者中,68.6%报告存在左前降支病变,51.2%存在左回旋支病变,48.8%存在右冠状动脉(RCA)病变。最常见的治疗方法是最佳药物治疗(生活方式改变和药物管理),69.8%的患者接受了这种治疗。年龄≤60 岁、左主干病变或分支病变的患者更有可能接受冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)。相反,RCA 病变患者更有可能接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)。
患者年龄和冠状动脉粥样硬化病变的解剖定位是决定 CABG 或 PCI 治疗的主要因素。
