| Introduction: Coronary Arteries Involvements (CAIs) are the most important causes of death due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) worldwide. Therefore, recognizing the related factors is necessary in order to obtain preventive actions. The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between CVD risk factors and CAIs amongst patients who were referred to the Angiographic Center, Imam Hussein hospital, Mehran city, Ilam Province, western Iran.
Materials and methods: Through a cross-sectional study, 2046 records of CVD patients were reviewed between 2009 and 2012. The outcome variable was either normal or abnormal angiography result. The certain risk factors including gender, age, familial history, smoking, hypertension and blood lipids were also analyzed. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to estimate the adjusted odds ratios.
Results Gender (OR=3.44, %95CI:1.02-5.58), age (OR=1.10, %95CI:1.05-1.15), familial history (OR=1.12, %95CI:1.30-1.94), smoking (OR=1.50, %95CI:1.02-1.98), systolic blood pressure (OR=1.16, %95CI:1.05-1.28), diastolic blood pressure (OR=1.04, %95CI:1.00-1.09) and HDL-cholesterol (OR=1.04, %95CI:1.00-1.08) had significantly increased risk of CAIs.
Conclusion: Smoking, hypertension and low HDL-cholesterol from modifiable characteristics as well as gender, age and familial history of CVD from non-modifiable characteristics had increased the odds of CAIs. Performing longitudinal cohort studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses are recommended for future studies |
