“…In Beijing, Ma et al found that the prevalence of MBs was 13.6% (336/2462) from the China-Japan Friendship Hospital [ 25 ]. In Northeast China, it was reported to be 10.53% (10/95) from Heilongjiang Province [ 26 ] and 24.14% (140/580) from Liaoning Province [ 27 ]. Our study showed that the frequency of Southwest China was lower as compared with Heilongjiang Province and Liaoning Province in Northeast China.…”

Background. The prevalence of coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) is rare and varies among different countries or areas. More importantly, the symptoms exhibited by some CAAs make the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) difficult and hamper the physician from making the right intervention for CAD patients. Objective. To investigate the prevalence of CAAs in 11,267 patients from three hospitals in Southwest China. Methods. 11,267 patients who have undergone coronary angiography from three Southwest China hospitals were investigated retrospectively. Dominance patterns, prevalence, and the location of each CAA were recorded and analyzed. Results. The presence of a dominant right coronary artery (RCA) was found in 60.58% of patients. CAAs were found in 11.12% (1258) patients, and 87.66% anomalies were located in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and its branches. Most of CAAs were found to be myocardial bridges (MBs, 1060 cases, 9.41%). Other CAAs included anomalous coronary origin (43 cases, 0.38%), coronary artery fistulas (CAFs, 36 cases, 0.32%), and coronary artery aneurysm or ectasia (119 cases, 1.06%). It also noted that most anomalies were found with RCA originating from the left coronary sinus (79.07%), most CAFs were located in the LAD and its branches (58.33%), and most coronary artery ectasias were located in the RCA (43.25%). Conclusions. CAAs in patients from Southwest China were unique compared to other studies. Recognition of these CAAs is important for accurate diagnosis and treatment choice of patients with chest pain.

“…It is also listed that the CT coronography is superior in the diagnostics of myocardial bypass compared to classic coronography (4). Authors from Iran (Sajjadieh et al) noted high sensitivity (96%) as well as PPV (90.5%) of CTA in the detection of coronary disease (5).…”

Introduction:Cardiovascular disease, among which the most common is coronary disease of the hearth are the main cause of death at middle aged persons in the majority of European countries. Percent of cardiovascular disease in overall mortality among our population is even more than 50%. Up to 55 years of live myocardial infarction is by 5-6 times more common among men, and up to age of 75 years that difference decreases to 2.5 times.Goal:The goal of this study is to determine the diagnostic value of 64 slices computerized tomography in detection of coronary disease compared to classic, invasive coronography.Material and methods:Study included 50 patients, of both genders, at average age of 60 years. Patients underwent CT coronography as well as classic coronography.Results:Our research prove that the sensitivity of MSCT coronography 92% with positive predictive value of 86%. Mayor difference was in the analysis of CX artery in the evaluation of significant and non-significant stenosis in application of these two methods. During the analysis of LAD and RCA artery there was no statistically significant difference in findings of these two methods.Conclusion:CT coronography is non-invasive, comfortable and reliable method in coronary disease diagnostics. Thanks to its high sensitivity and PPV it enables reliable exclusion of coronary disease and takes significant place in a cardiovascular diseases diagnostic algorithm.
