In Korea, with development of industry and change of life pattern, the incidence of coronary artery disease is in increasing state.
Selective coronary angiography is gold standard modality of coronary artery disease. Coronary angiographic findings were retrospectively analysed in 74 cases of ischemic heart disease, living in Chungcheong region, performed at the Department of Radiology.
Chungnam National University Hospital from September, 1988 to June, 1993. In 52 cases of obstructive coronary artery disease, there were 44 cases of single vessel disease, in which 24cases were LAD involvement and 17 cases were RCA involvement, 2 were Lt.circumflex artery involvement, 1 was left main artery involvement, 7 cases of two vessels and 2 cases of three vessel disease.
The site, degree and extent of stenotic involvement of these occlusive coronary artery disease were analysed and compared with previous reported papers for selective coronary angiograms performed in the region of Seoul, Korea.
In this study, we suggest that in Chungcheong region the prevalent age of occlusive coronary artery disease is older and the incidence of multivessel disease is lower than in Seoul region.
