A new report from Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd, Iran provides updated data on the prevalence and risk factors of isolated coronary artery ectasia (CAE). The study reviewed 16,600 patients who underwent coronary angiography between March 2015 and April 2020. The researchers found that isolated CAE was diagnosed in 1.7% of patients, with the left anterior descending artery being the most commonly affected vessel. The study concluded that the occurrence of isolated CAE in Yazd was similar to other studies, and that the condition often involves diffuse involvement of the coronary arteries.
