Pak Heart J Jan ;49(4):172-8.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to show coronary angioghraphic pattern in patients having high duke treadmill. Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted between 28 March 2015 to 27 September 2015 at Cardiology Department of Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan. Patients with stable angina having high Duke's score that is less than 11, between 35-60 years of age of both genders were selected. Patients with history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina,heart failure and pregnancy were excluded. After this coronary angiography was conducted in all these patients. Findings were noted as no stenosis, single vessel disease, double vessel disease, triple vessel disease and left main stem disease. Results: Mean age of patients was 52.42 +- 4.78 years. Out of total 220 patients,126 (57.27) were females ,with female to male ratio of 1.3:1. Triple vessel disease was most common angiographic finding and was seen in 82 (37.27%) patients followed by left main stem disease in 73 (33.18%) patients. Double vessel disease, single vessel disease and no stenosis in 39 (17.73), 18 (8.18%) and 08 (3.64%) patients respectively. Conclusion: This study concluded that severity of angiographic patterns correlate significantly with high risk Duke's trade mill score on exercise testing inpatients with stable angina.
