| Abstrakt: | Although patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) often have other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the exact prevalence remains unclear. We aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of coexistent silent atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (SACVDs) in patients with AAA without a history of CVD. Consecutive 157 patients with AAA (mean age, 73 years), without any previous history of CVD, were included. Silent myocardial ischemia (SMI), cerebrovascular disease (CeVD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) without symptoms coexisted in 29.3%, 25.5%, 15.9%, and 8.3%, respectively. The significant predictors of SMI were diabetes mellitus (P = .025) and male sex (P = .048). The significant predictor of silent CeVD was older age (P = .039). The borderline predictors of asymptomatic PAD and TAA were diabetes mellitus (P = .056) and AAA size (P = .053), respectively. Even with no previous symptomatic CVD, patients with AAA have high prevalence of coexistent SACVD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
