Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the relationship between anemia and severity of coronary artery lesions.Methods: A total of 227 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) were studied.According to their hemoglobin levels,all patients identified positive by selective coronary angiography(CAG) were divided into two groups,anemic group and non-anemic group,their clinical types and severity of coronary artery lesions were compared.Results: The proportion of anemia in unstable angina and infarction group was higher than those in stable angina group,similarly the proportion of anemia was also high in severe stenosis,occlusion and three-branch stenosis groups than that in other groups.Conclusion: Anemia is possibly one of the predictive factors suggesting CAD's clinical types and deterioration of coronary artery stenosis.
