Objective To explore the correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and characteristics of coronary artery le‐sions ,the degree of stenosis in patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) .Methods Totally 156 patients who under went coro‐nary angiography(CAG) in our hospital were divided into CAD group(n=98) and non‐CAD group(n=58) which the patients with coronary stenosis <50% according to the result of CAG .Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed ,including gender ,age , body mass index(BMI) ,family history ,smoking status ,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) ,blood lipid ,blood pressure and blood sugar levels ,the correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery lesions was analyzed .Results There was significant difference of gender ,systolic blood pressure (SBP) ,total cholesterol (TCH) ,three acyl glycerin (TG) ,low density lipo‐protein cholesterol (LDL‐C) ,fasting blood glucose (FBG) ,smoking between the two groups(P<0 .05) ,but no significant differ‐ence was found at the level of ages ,BMI ,high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) ,diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ,family his‐tory ,serum creatinine (Cr) ,LVEF between the two groups(P>0 .05) .The number of coronary artery lesion branch were increased with these risk factors incresed ,such as smoking ,SBP ,LDL‐C ,FBG ,no significant difference with age ,male ,TCH ,TG .The degree of stenosis were increased with SBP ,FBG ,no significant difference with age ,male ,smoking ,TCH ,TG and LDL‐C .Conclusion The smoking ,males ,FBP and SBP are the prominent risk factors of CAD in Qinghai area ,prosmote the occurrence and development of CAD together .
