摘要: Over 80% of annual coronary heart disease mortality occurs in the elderly, a rapidly expanding subset population. The authors retrospectively examined relationship between traditional cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerotic artery burden cohort 631 elderly patients undergoing angiography. Age male sex but not hypertension or dyslipidemia were predictors presence obstructive (Duke score >or=2). Only diabetes mellitus emerged as an independent predictor burden. Smoking was found to be predictive left main disease. In summary, severity angiographic assessed by Duke Myocardial Jeopardy scoring appears correlate poorly with prevalence established factors.
