Abstract
We studied 100 consecutive patients who were referred to a specialized multislice CT angiography center (ICC imaging center) at Alexandria, where they underwent lipid profile investigation, CT coronary angiography as well as CT abdomen at the level of the umbilicus Patients were divided into normal group (n=43), diseased group(n=57) which in turn was divided into two other groups a.Obstructive n=43 b. Non obstructive n=14 Our results revealed that 1. Comparing between normal and diseased groups there was statistical significant difference regarding age( 52.14± 10.01 vs 56.46 ± 9.61 , p- value<0.05), presence of diabetes mellitus 23.3% vs 77.2 %, p- value <0.01) , frequency of metabolic syndrome (20.9% vs 45.6 %, p- value<0.05), greater waist to hip ratio (0.88 ± 0.04 vs 0.85 ± 0.07 , p- value<0.05) and Ca scoring (00.00 ± 00.00 vs 159.65 ± 226.88 , p- value<0.01). 2. Comparing between non obstructive and obstructive groups there was highly statistical significant difference regarding Ca scoring (37.64 ± 62.84 vs 199.37 ± 246.65 , p- value<0.01), the
extent of CAD (No. of lesions)( 1.50 ± 0.76 vs 37.64 ± 62.84 ,
p- value<0.01) and Ca scoring in diabetic patients (27.44 ±<33.7 vs 241.88 ± 254.98 , p- value<0.01), as well as statistical significant difference regarding subcutaneous fat (34.31 ± 10.05
vs 27.99 ± 9.86 , value <0.05),and Ca scoring in hypertensive
patients (42.89 ± 78.27 vs 205.91 ± 245.5).
