Description
Summary:The study aims to determine the age-gender distribution of individuals with and without coronary artery disease (CAD) and to analyze the percentage size of CAD detected in different coronary artery segments by gender, including the right coronary artery (RCA), left main coronary artery (LMCA), circumflex artery (Cx), and left anterior descending artery (LAD). The research was conducted in Batman Training and Research Hospital's digital subtraction angiography (DSA) unit using angiography data obtained between April 2019 and July 2020. Coronary arteries were divided into proximal, middle, and distal segments, and the stenosis size was measured as a percentage for each segment. Among patients with CAD, in the gender distribution, males showed a significantly higher prevalence than females at a rate of 85.62% (p [Med-Science 2023; 12(4.000): 1024-9]
