Research On The Correlation Of Coronary Artery Calcification And Related Risk Factors

Objectives:To investigate the relationship of risk factors and coronary artery calcification.Materials and Methods:A total of 178 patients from Jan 2014 to December 2014 in the first affiliated hospital of Nanhua University was included in this study.All the patients was tested by dual-source coronary CT angiography to determinate coronary artery calcium scores. There were 41 males and 44 females with the scores of zero points which meant non coronary calcification. 44 males and 46 females were scored above zero points, which were grouped in coronary calcification group. The coronary calcification group was divided into three subgroup according to the coronary artery calcium score: low calcification group(0 to 10), middle calcification group(11-400), high calcification group(400). General information of all patients and blood test results including total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein(HDL), low density lipoprotein(LDL), glucose(GLU), calcium(CA) were collected. All the results were performed with SPSS19.0 software for statistical analysis.The relationship between coronary calcification scores and age, blood glucose, blood calcium, cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein in two groups was explored. Results:A significant difference was found in age, total cholesterol, blood glucose, triglyceride(P < 0.05) between non-calcification group and calcification group but no correlation was found among the factors above with HDL-C and LDL-C datas(P > 0.05). Conclusions:The coronary heart disease risk factors such as age,total cholest erol,triglyceride,blood glucose played important roles in the coronary artery calcification.
