| Popis: | Background and Objectives:Although the size of the coronary artery is known to be closely related to the outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention, its normal value and determinants have not been examined in Koreans. Subjects and Methods:One hundred and twenty seven normal coronary arteriograms were carefully selected from 3,412 studied consecutively. Of these, 53 women and 23 men, with no abnormalities in their cardiac function and not using nitrates, were studied. The lumen diameter was measured at 10 segments in the epicardial coronary arteries. Results:For men, the mean lumen diameter of the proximal left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries were 3.88±0.39 and 3.45±0.47 mm, respectively, and were not affected by the anatomic dominance. However, the left main and proximal right coronary arteries varied between 4.44±0.49 and 5.18±0.32 mm (p |
