Özet
Öz: Amaç: Koroner arter ektazisi (KAE) koroner arterlerin fokal ya da diffüz dilatasyonudur. Yaş koroner arter hastalığı (KAH) için güçlü bir risk faktörüdür. Biz yaşın izole KAE gelişiminde önemli olup olmadığını ve izole KAE olguları ile KAH olgularının yaş, cinsiyet ve diğer kardiyovasküler risk faktörleri yönünden karşılaştırılmasını amaçladık. Yöntemler: Çalışma izole koroner arter ektazili 32 hasta ve koroner arter hastalığı olan 100 hasta üzerinde yapıldı. Hastalar yaş gruplarına göre 4’ e bölündü. Gruplar, Grup I: < 50 yaş, Grup II: 50-59 yaş, Grup III: 60-69 yaş, Grup IV: > 70 olarak ayrıldı. Bulgular: İzole KAE’li hastaların ortalama yaşları 60.6±9.9, KAH grubunun ortalama yaşları 61.4±9.5 olarak bulundu. İki grup arasında yaş, cinsiyet ve yaş grupları açısından istatistiki anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p>0.05). Her iki grup hipertansiyon, sigara, diabet ve diğer risk faktörleri yönünden de kıyaslandı. DM ve MI öyküsü KAH’lı hasta grubunda daha yüksek bulundu (p0.05). Sonuç: Biz yaşın KAE gelişiminde ön planda olmadığını gösterdik. DM dışında diğer risk faktörlerinin koroner arter hastalığı bulunan hastalarla benzer olduğu bulundu.
Abstract: Objective: Coronary artery ectasy (CAE) is focal or diffuse dilation of coronary arteries. Age is a strong risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to whether age is important for isolated CAE development and compare the patients with CAE and CAD in respect to age, sex and other cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: The study was carried out on 32 patients with isolated CAE and 100 patients with CAD. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to their age. The groups were classified as Group I: 70 years. Results: Mean ages of the patients with isolated CAE and CAD were 60.6±9.9 years and 61.4±9.5 years, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in respect to age, sex and age distribution (p>0.05). Presence of hypertension, DM, smoking and other risk factors were also compared between two groups. DM and previous MI were more frequent in patients with CAD (p0.05). Conclusions: We have shown that age is not a major determinant for isolated CAE development. Risk factors other than DM were found to be similar to patients with CAD.
