Relationship between coronary atherosclerotic plaque characterics and carotid plaques in stable angina pectoris patients
Abstract：Objective To study the relationship between coronary atherosclerotic plaque characterics and carotid plaques in stable angina pectoris patients.Methods Two hundred and forty-two patients who underwent coronary angiography and PCI in our hospital were divided into thin cap fibroatherosclerotic plaque (TCFAP) group (n=113),thick cap fibroatherosclerotic plaque (ThCFAP) group (n=90),and pathological intimal thickening (PIT) group (n=39).Their risk factors for stable angina pectoris were analyzed.Results The incidence of coronary atherosclerotic plaques was 46.69 ％,37.19％ and 16,12 ％ respectively in TCFAP group,ThCFAP group and PIT group.The incidence of diabetes mellitus and cerebrovascular events,and the proportion of high density calcified area and minimal lumen area ≤4.0 mm2 were significantly higher in TCFAP group than in ThCFAP group and PIT group (30.09％ vs 26.67％ and 12.82％,16.81％ vs 6.67％ and 5.13％,11.3％±8.4％ vs 3.4％±3.3％ and 1.3％±1.0％,17.7％ vs 7.8％ and 15.4％,P＜ 0.05,P＜0.01).The incidence of bilateral carotid plaques was significantly higher in TCFAP group than in ThCFAP group and PIT group (38.1％ vs 25.6％ and 18.0％,P＜0.01).Conclusion Coronary atherosclerotic plaques in stable angina pectoris patients are characterized by TCFAP with a high incidence of high density calcified coronary plaques,bilateral carotid plaques and cerebrovascular events.
