Objectives:The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the GENSINI score used to show the prevalence of atherosclerotic disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and the red blood cell distribution volume.Material and Methods: 359 patients with a diagnosis of ACS who underwent coronary angiography were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups as GENSINI score <20 and ≥20, by analysing their angiographic images. The demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters of these two groups were compared and the values predicting the GENISI score high were investigated.
Results:Of the 359 patients included in the study, 104 female patients were 255 men. While the number of patients with a GENSINI score of <20 was 69, the number of patients with a GENSINI score of ≥20 was 290. It was observed that Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) value was higher in the group with GENSINI score> 20 (13.7±0.9 and 14.2±1.4 p=0.001). In the correlation analysis, a positive correlation was observed between RDW and GENSINI score (r: 0.137; p=0.009). RDW was seen to be the independent predictor of the GENSINI score. (OR: 1.417, 95% CI (1.037-1.935); p=0.029) Conclusions: RDW, which is an easy and accessible parameter in patients presenting with ACS, correlates with the severity of atherosclerotic heart disease and can be used as a predictor of atherosclerotic heart disease.
Sol koroner arterin pulmoner arterden (ALCAPA) anormal kökeni, nadir görülen doğuştan kalp anomalisidir. Genellikle klinik seyir; ileri sol kalp yetmezliği ve yaşamın ilk aylarında ortaya çıkan mitral kapak yetersizliğidir. Bununla birlikte, bazı durumlarda sağ koroner arterden oluşan kollateraller miyokard perfüzyonu için yeterlidir. ALCAPA'lı hastalarda aritmi veya erişkin yaşamda ani kalp ölümü ilk klinik başvuru olabilir. Göğüs ağrısı ve çarpıntı şikayetleri ile acil servise başvuran ve sol koroner arterde anormal köken saptanan 66 yaşında kadın hastayı sunmaktayız.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
