The prevalence of restless legs syndrome in patients undergoing coronary angiography and its relationship with the severity of coronary artery stenosis.

摘要: PURPOSE Results from studies on the relationship between restless legs syndrome (RLS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are conflicting. Some associate RLS with CAD by heart rate variability, blood pressure other autonomic, neuronal reasons, while do not support these observations. The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence in patients undergoing angiography for assess severity CAD. METHODS After inclusion exclusion criteria were applied, enrolled less than 50% stenosis (0-49%) assigned group 1, or more 2. Patients diagnosed if they met all five essential International group. comorbidities compared two groups. RESULTS Of 126 patients, 74 men (59%), mean age 64.0 ± 8.7 years, BMI 29.6 kg/m2, 47 (37%) 1 (no nonobstructive CAD) 79 (63%) 2 (obstructive CAD). No significant differences found groups terms age, BMI, gender, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, DM. (29%) significantly higher (15%), p = 0.013. CONCLUSION These results suggest that is associated severity. We conjecture may be related vascular endothelial dysfunction cardiovascular disease.
