Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Background-Atherosclerosis of coronary arteries is a common phenomenon seen to be prevalent worldwide. Methods-This was observational type of analytical study. A consecutive series of 100 adult patients having mean age range between 35-60 years referred to the Cardiovascular Centre for coronary angiography was included. Results- Out of 100 cases showing the occlusion, the most common artery to show a block was LAD (74 ), followed by RCA (23). The least common vessel to show an occlusive lesion was left main coronary artery (LMCA). Conclusion-The LAD was the artery found most commonly to be involved in the occlusive lesion, followed by the RCA. Similarly, irrespective of the vessel, it was the proximal segment of the arteries found to be most commonly involved in the occlusive process.
