Younger Group (≤40 years) n= 100 | Older Group (>40 years) n= 100 | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|
Coronary angiographic evaluation | |||
Normal Vessels, n (%) | 22 (22.0%) | 5 (5.0%) | <0.001 |
Single Vessel Disease, n (%) | 55 (55.0%) | 46 (46.0%) | 0.204 |
Double Vessel Disease, n (%) | 15 (15.0%) | 31 (31.0%) | 0.007 |
Triple Vessel Disease, n (%) | 8 (8.0%) | 18 (18.0%) | 0.036 |
Arteries involved* | |||
Left anterior descending, n (%) | 48 (44.0%) | 46 (28.4%) | 0.004 |
Left circumflex, n (%) | 29 (26.6%) | 62 (38.1%) | 0.047 |

*Total number of arteries involved was 109 in the younger group and 162 in the older group
**Values are expressed as n (%); p-value was calculated using the Chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test.
