Clinical Course of Patients with Coronary Ectasia

View through CrossRef
<i>Objective:</i> To compare the clinical prognosis between patients with diffuse coronary ectasia and those with localized coronary ectasia. <i>Design:</i> Patients with coronary ectasia were divided into two groups based on the Markis classification (group D: types I–III and group L: type IV), and the clinical manifestations and prognosis were compared between the two groups. <i>Results:</i> Group D patients (52.1 ± 4 years) were significantly younger than group L patients (62.5 ± 7 years). During the study, 4 patients in group D died suddenly. Three of the patients had type I coronary ectasia, and 1 had left main coronary ectasia. <i>Conclusion:</i> The results of the present study indicate that patients with diffuse coronary ectasia and left main coronary ectasia should be followed carefully.
