Association of endothelial function and limb artery indices with coronary artery stenosis severity in patients with hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular events. This study aims to analyse the association of endothelial function and limb artery indices with coronary artery stenosis (CAS) severity in hypertension based on easily accessible and detailed clinical information, and to help accurately identify high-risk groups and avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Methods

Admission data of 1,375 consecutive hypertensive patients complicated with suspected coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) from September 2020 to August 2021 in China-Japan Friendship Hospital were retrospectively assessed. All candidates underwent coronary angiography for screening. A total of 600 eligible patients were classified in the CHD group (n = 359) and non-CH
