Sažetak
Coronary artery disease (CAD), along with other diseases from the group of cardiovascular disea- ses holds a significant share in the morbidity and mortality of the population, especially among developed countries. The aim of this study was to determine the preva- lence of cardiovascular risk factors in hospitalized patients undergoing coronary angiography thereby placing a special emphasis on gender. The analysis includes 196 patients (106 men and 90 women) from the Coronary intensive Care, University Hospital Center Osijek that during 2010 underwent coronary angiography. In addition to demographic data and body mass index, the analysis encompassed the data on coronary angiography procedure, type of CAD and characteristics of narrowing of coronary arteries and the data obtained by aortography and left ventriculography. We have found that coronarographed patients are usually men, older, obese persons and diabetics. In most cases, the right coronary artery was dominant, while the greatest number of patients had a one-vessel coronary artery disease. Some 40.7% of patients underwent percutaneous coronary interven- tion, while coronary artery bypass graft was recommended to 27.3% of patients. Female patients were usually older, with the presence of multiple risk factors. More frequent and more extensive left anterior descending artery stenosis was recorded in women. This study confirms previous insights, because persons with multiple risk factors were more vulnerable to the occurrence of CAD.
