Evaluation of coronary arteries stenosis by computed tomography angiography in district Faisalabad

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the accuracy and precision of computed tomography angiography for assessing significant coronary artery stenosis in district Faisalabad. Materials and Methods: The data was collected from the Radiology department of Shifa International hospital Faisalabad. Sixty patients (40-80 years of age) were assessed through computed tomography to evaluate coronary heart disease. Data was collected by using a close-ended self-modified questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS V22. Results: The findings of this study showed that the incidence of coronary heart disease patients was 34 (56.67%) out of 60. Among the affected patients, 39 (65%) were male, and 21 (35%) were female. Based on the evaluation, most of the affected patients were under (50-60) years of age. The percentage of coronary arteries stenosis varies as the left anterior-descending artery LAD had higher stenosis (41.67%) among others; left main LM (16.67%), left-circumflex artery LCX (20%), and right-coronary artery RCA (21.67%) in all affected patients. Conclusion: It was presumed that computed tomography angiography precisely distinguishes the presence and finding of coronary stenosis and was additionally pronounced the best quality level. Based on coronary arteries, stenosis of LAD was the most commonly reported in diseased patients. Other arteries stenosis can also increase the risk of CHD in patients.
