Frequency and degree of severity of coronay artery sclerosis in patients with angiographically established coronary heart disease
Description
As seen from the literature, only few exact investigations were made concerning the importance of coronary sclerosis in angiographically proven significant coronary artery stenoses. Therefore, patients were examined who had undergone a coronary angiography to find out the sensitivity and specificity of coronary calcification to the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. The author compared these results to the incidence of coronary artery calcification in a random control group of patients. Furthermore the question was discussed whether the degree of severity of coronary sclerosis correlates with the degree of severity of coronary heart disease, taking into consideration age and sex of the patients and the share of vascular diseases affecting one or several vessels.

Wie aus der Literatur hervorgeht, gibt es nur wenige exakte Untersuchungen hinsichtlich der Wertigkeit des Koronarkalks bei angiographisch nachgewiesenen signifikanten Koronararterienstenosen. Deshalb haben wir bei koronarangiographierten Patienten die Sensitivitaet und Spezifitaet von Koronarkalk fuer die Diagnose einer KHE untersucht und diese Ergebnisse mit der Haeufigkeit des Auftretens von Koronararterienverkalkungen bei einem nicht selektierten Krankengut verglichen. Ausserdem gingen wir der Frage nach, ob unterschiedliche Schweregrade einer Koronararterienverkalkung mit dem Schweregrad der KHE korrelieren, wobei Alter und Geschlecht der Patienten sowie der Anteil an Ein- und Mehrgefaesserkrankungen beruecksichtigt wurden.
