Abstract
To determine the best combination of parameters that would improve the diagnostic performance of exercise testing, coronary angiography plus exercise testing were done on 112 patients with angina pectoris and normal electrocardiogram. The univariate predictors of coronary artery disease included: age >/= 40 years, male sex, hypertension, smoking, development of exertional chest pain, decrease in systolic blood pressure [‎BP]‎ >/= 10 mmHg or systolic BP 3 min post-exercise > 90% of peak, heart rate drop < 12 beats/min 1 min post-exercise, exercise-induced ST-segment depression >/= 1mm. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that using either ST depression >/= 1mm or peak exercise QTDc > 70 ms significantly improved sensitivity and negative predictive value of the test without a significant decrease in specificity

    Association of breast artery calcification with coronary artery disease and carotid intima-media thickness in premenopausal women 

    Sarrafzadegann, N.; Ashrafi, F.; Noorbakhsh, M.; Haghighi, M.; Sadeghi, M.; Mazaheri, F.; Asgari, S.; Akhavan, A. (‎2009)‎
    This study investigated whether breast arterial calcification [‎BAC]‎ has an association with coronary artery diseases [‎CAD]‎ in young premenopausal women and evaluated the association of BAC with carotid intima-media thickness and standard CAD risk factors. Among 84 premenopausal women aged < 55 years who were referred for coronary angiography, 34 [‎40.5%]‎ had abnormal angiographic findings and 6 [‎7.1%]‎ showed BAC in their mammograms. The body mass index of patients with BAC was significantly higher than those without BAC. BAC had no significant ...

    Risk factors of coronary artery disease in different regions of Saudi Arabia 

    Osman, A.K.; Al Nozha, M.M. (‎2000)‎
    A national nutrition survey was carried out in Saudi Arabia between 1989 and 1994. One objective was to investigate the prevalence of well established atherogenic risk factors among adults 18 years and older, namely obesity, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia, diabetes mellitus and high systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Obesity prevalence was positively correlated with all five coronary artery disease risk factors investigated. Variation among regions in relation to the prevalence of these risk factors was observed. Saudi Arabia's ...
