Abstract

Background : Patients with coronary artery disease share common risk factors as abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), in which screening for AA dilatation is recommended. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) may offer the opportunity to evaluate the cardiac function and to screen for AA dilatation during the same examination.Aims : This study aimed to compare risk factors for abdominal aortic dilatation with abdominal aorta index in patients with coronary artery disease, and to evaluate the feasibility of AA dilatation screening at bedside using TTE in population with CAD. Methods : This is a cross-sectional study of patients with CAD. The abdominal aortic was measured at the end of a regular TTE performed in consecutive patients admitted in coronary care unit of Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan using an echocardiography machine.Results : We enrolled 75 patients with mean age 56 (SD 10) years. Dilatation of abdominal aortic was observed in 21 patients (28%). From the analysis obtained a significant relationship between history of acute myocardial infarction with dilatation abdominal aorta (P = 0.04).Conclusion : Overall, the prevalence of dilatation of abdominal aortic increased with age and history of AMI. In regard to the simplicity, screening for AA dilatation during TTE may be of value for patients with CAD, especially in elder patients.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Excessive iron has been shown to increase the atherosclerosis process through the help of non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to ascertain the association between iron profile and the severity of coronary artery lesions in patients with acute non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).  METHOD: This observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from February to September 2024 at Adam Malik General Hospital. NSTEMI patients planned for coronary angiography were examined for iron profile, including serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation. Coronary artery lesion severity was evaluated using the synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with taxus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score.  RESULTS: This study involved 72 subjects. The results showed there were no correlations between serum iron levels and SYNTAX scores (p = 0.891) and transferrin saturation with SYNTAX scores (p = 0.545). Nevertheless, TIBC and SYNTAX score were negatively correlated (p = 0.004) with a weak correlation coefficient (r = -0.334).  CONCLUSION: TIBC levels are inversely correlated with the severity of coronary artery lesions. However, transferrin saturation and serum iron have not been shown to correlate with the severity of coronary artery lesions.
