| Popis: | Introduction:Coronary tortuosity (CT) is a common anatomical finding during coronary angiography (CA); however, its aetiology and clinical importance have not been clearly defined. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the presence or severity of CT and effect of the sigma-shaped right coronary artery (RCA) on the exercise stress test (EST).Methods:The study included 175 patients who underwent CA due to cardiac symptoms and positive EST and had no obstructive coronary artery disease in a single centre between 2017 and 2018 June. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1, patients with CT (n=88), and group 2, patients without CT (n=87). The patients were also categorised as low and moderate-to-high risk based on Duke treadmill score (DTS).Results:The running distance and DTS were lower, and the rate of sigma-shaped RCA was higher in the CT group (p |
