Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity, therefore, recognizing its severity and related factors is important. This study was performed to evaluate the association between ratio for diameters of pulmonary artery to ascending aorta bifurcation in chest CT scan and number of involved vessels in coronary angiography. In this observational cross-sectional comparative study, 110 patients who were under coronary angiography in Firoozgar Hospital in 2017 were enrolled, and the association between ratio for diameters of pulmonary artery to ascending aorta bifurcation in their chest CT scan and number of involved vessels in angiography were assessed. RESULTS: In this study, number of involved vessels in angiography was related to PA/Ao ratio (P = 0.001) and further vessels were accompanied with higher ratio. It may be concluded that, a higher ratio for diameters of pulmonary artery to ascending aorta bifurcation in chest CT scan is related to higher number of involved vessels in coronary angiography, and it may have a predictive role.
