Angiographic features of coronary arteries morphology in patients with coronary syndrome X
148 case of severe coronary tortuosity in patients with coronary artery disease and coronary X syndrome are described in the article. It is established that in one artery isolated expressed crimp in the coronary artery was in 87 (58,8%) patients, 61 (41,2%) patients crimp traced in two or three major coronary arteries, but in most (75,7%) cases it was determined in the anterior interventricular artery, in 15,5% cases - in the circumflex branch of left coronary artery and in 8,8% - in the right coronary artery. It was revealed that the frequency of angina attacks with severe coronary artery tortuosity found significantly (p=0,0002)more often than in patients with intact coronary arteries. The frequency of angina episodes in these cases was found significantly more often than in patients with intact coronary arteries (p=0,0002). Strong degree of correlation between the angina episodes frequency and the level of coronary tortuosity was determined (r= –0,72; α=0,05).
