Background: The current gold standard for the diagnosis of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is invasive coronary angiography. But a large proportion of patients undergoing coronary angiography don't have obstructive coronary artery disease. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of invasive coronary angiography for patients without known coronary artery disease presenting with stable chest pain syndrome at two hospitals structures in Senegal. Method: We conducted a prospective, descriptive, and analytical study from March 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020 in the Cardiology Departments of General Hospital Idrissa Pouye (HOGIP) and Aristide Le Dantec Hospital (HALD). During the study period a cohort of patients referred to angiography coronary for diagnostic CAD because of suspected stable angina were enrolled. Demographic characteristics, risk factors, symptoms, and noninvasive test results were correlated with the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Results: A total of 143 patients were included in our study with a median age of 60.91 ± 10.58 years; men were 96 (67.13%) and women 47 (32.87%). The prevalence of hypertension was 60.84%; diabetes was 34.27%; dyslipidemia was 32.17% and sedentary was 26.57% in our study population. Typical and atypical angina symptoms were present in 37.76% (n = 54) and 49.65% (n = 71) respectively, while 10.49% had dyspnea. Coronary angiography revealed 59 (41.26%
Background: CAD management is important in prevention of disease progression. But we have very little study or research on the evolution of stable angina in amulatory patients without coronary antecedents and with obstructive coronary disease. Purpose: The objective of our study was to analyze the clinical and angiographic profil of patients with stable chest pain and to assess their angina status one year outcomes. Patients and methods: All patients who presented with symptomatic angina pectoris and/or signs of ischemia and first diagnosis of obstructive CAD in the Cardiology Departments of Idrissa Pouye General Hospital and Aristide Le Dantec National University Hospital Center of Dakar, from March 01, 2019 to December 31, 2020 were selected. The clinical characteristics, initial angiographic findings, therapeutic strategy and outcome within the first year were analyzed. Results: During the study period, 84 outpatients presenting with symptomatic stable chest pain and first obstructive coronary artery disease were selected. The mean age was 63.01± 9.37 years. Male preponderance was observed with 63(75%) patients; Clinical symptoms were dominated by typical pain with 46.4% (n=39) ; the risk factors were dominated by hypertension 61.9% (n=52); diabetes 41.7% (n=35) and dyslipidemia 33.3% (n=28). During follow-up, 10 patients (11.90%) remained untraceable while 9 patients (10.71%) were not available for check-up; 3 patients (3.57%) died during follow-up. Only 62 patients (73.80) could be evaluated; among those who were alive and controlled, 26 patients (41.93%) with angina at baseline still had angina symptoms, 2 patients (3.22%) had undergone myocardial infarction; one (1.61%) had undergone urgent revascularization; one (1.61%) patient developed heart failure. Finally 32 patients (51.61%) were event-free and angina-free Conclusion: The management of outpatients with stable chest pain and first obstructive CAD appears favourable, with good adherence to guideline-based therapies one year outcomes. Stable chest pain is not associated with an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes but there remains room for improvement in terms of risk factor control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
