Background: Cardiovascular diseases cause approximately onethird of deaths worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the
burden of risk factors, demographic data and in-hospital outcome
of patients undergoing coronary catheterization with or without
intervention in Benha university hospital. Methods: This crosssectional study included 600 patients undergoing coronary
catheterization with or without intervention at Benha University
Hospitals, during the period from February 2023 to February
2024. Results: 70%
occlusion in 74% of participant, however bifurcation occlusion
was seen only 4.6% of participants, however total occlusion was
reported in 29.8% of them. Age difference revealed that many
risk factors were significantly higher among elderly ≥71 years
including HTN, class 3 obesity, Hyperlipidemia, and DCM, DM
was high in both 41-70 years and 71 years groups (50.0, and
46.2% respectively). Participants aged < 40 years old were more
prone to >70% occlusion (90.9%), or occlusion at bifurcation
(18.2%), however patients whose age >71 years old were more
prone to occlusion < 50% (83.3%). Conclusions: Abnormal
coronary angiography (CA) was more prevalent in older, male,
and less-educated patients. Key risk factors such as diabetes,
smoking, dyslipidemia, and prior cardiac history were strongly
associated with abnormal CA. Additionally, systolic blood
pressure (SBP) and serum creatinine levels were significantly
higher in this group, while hewere lower.art rate (HR) and left ventricular
ejection fraction (LVEF) were |
