【 摘 要 】

Introduction:We can presume that risk factors are predictive of the degree of anatomical impairment on coronary angiography in coronary artery disease. In the present study, an attempt has been made to address?? whether the coronary angiography alone is potentially be able in assessing the clinical severity of patients with ACS or can we include the risk factors also in this issue. Methods : 100 Patients with established CAD were divided into 4 groupsbased on the angiography &clinical severity. Body mass index (B.M.I.), Waist circumference& Waist ??? hip ratio was calculated. Data collected was then analyzed in relation to the angiographic severity and the clinical presentation using Pearson????s chi square test and Analysis of Variance, using SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).P value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result:Obesity is the highest common risk factor. Majority of the patients, i.e. 80 %, in study group had more than 2 risk factors. When angiographic severity was compared with total number of risk factors, the incidence of triple vessel disease was more with multiple risk factors, but this observation did not reach a point of statistical significance (p = 0.38). Conclusion:Angiographic severity could not predict the clinical manifestation with much precision. In view of such high prevalence of risk factors, it seems appropriate that we, as clinicians, should look for other possible risk factors in a given patient and manage them aggressively Key words:CAD???????? angiogram??????????????
