Risk factors distribution and severity of coronary artery disease based on syntax score according to obesity grading in patients with chest pain syndromes candidate for elective coronary angiography

Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the risk factors of coronary artery disease and its severity based on the angiographic findings according to the Syntax Score system and their association with obesity severity based on patients' Body Mass Index and to respond to this discrepancy. Method : In this Cross-sectional-analytical study, documents of 260 patients who were diagnosed with stable angina and were hospitalized at the Shahid Madani Cardiovascular Diseases Center in Tabriz from January 2016 to December 2017 and underwent elective coronary angiography were obtained and analyzed. Results: The mean body mass index (BMI) of patients was 28.24 kg/m2 and there was no association between obesity grading and other risk factors of coronary artery disease. Besides, there was no significant association between BMI and the values of Syntax Score I and Clinical Syntax Score (P= 0.254 and 0.101 respectively), and between Obesity Grading and Syntax Score II treatment recommendation (P= 0.661).
