Prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease.
| Parameters | HCV cases (N = 63) | Control (N = 63) | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAD (> 50% stenosis) | 44 (69.8%) | 30 (47.6%) | 0.01 |
| CAD (> 75% stenosis) | 42 (66.7%) | 29 (46%) | 0.02 |
| Multivessel disease | 36 (57.1%) | 10 (15.9%) | <0.0005 |
| Combined Reardon severity score | 6.26 ± 5.39 | 2.6 ± 3.03 | <0.0005 |
| LAD: junction of middle and distal 1/3rd | 1.54 ± 1.54 | 0.71 ± 1.22 | 0.004 |
| LAD: proximal 1/3rd of septal branch | 0.51 ± 1.13 | 0.00 ± 0.00 | 0.001 |
| LAD: proximal 1/3rd diagonal branch | 0.33 ± 0.91 | 0.19 ± 0.64 | 0.51 |
| Proximal 1/3rd of the obtuse marginal branch of the CFX | 0.73 ± 1.31 | 0.14 ± 0.59 | 0.003 |
| CFX | 0.89 ± 1.32 | 0.60 ± 1.22 | 0.18 |
| RCA: up to and the origin of the PDA | 1.38 ± 1.66 | 0.84 ± 1.34 | 0.06 |
| Origin of PDA | 0.59 ± 0.21 | 0.00 ± 0.00 | <0.0005 |
| Proximal 1/3rd of PDA | 0.30 ± 0.83 | 0.11 ± 0.54 | 0.11 |
Severity of CAD is described as an average Reardon's score of a specific coronary artery. CAD, coronary artery disease; LAD, left anterior descending; CFX, circumflex; RCA, right coronary artery; PDA, posterior descending artery.
