Abstract

Background: Regarding the high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and to determine the relationship between the HEIGHT and severity of CAD, this study has been carried out on patients referring to Angiography Center, Shahid Moddarres Hospital, 1997-1998. Materials and methods: 2387 pateints had entered our descriptive-analytic study. Cardiomyopathy, moderate HEIGHT, and congenital or vavular heart disease were our exclusion criteria. Then patients with CAD have been distributed in two groups of tall and short. The tall group composed of patients with HEIGHT above X+SD and the short group included those with HEIGHT lesser than X-SD of that society. The coronary artery disease was studied according to the number of atherosclerotic arteries, site of stenosis, and the involvement of left main coronary artery. Meanwhile, the correlation between HEIGHT and obesity (Body Mass Index>27) was assessed with severity of CAD. Results: 596 patients were left out due to cardiomyopathy, and congenital or vavular heart disease, meanwhile another 1112 patients were put aside due to moderate HEIGHT. Finally, our study has been conducted over 661 patients composed of 320 tall and 341 short patients. Conclusion: Results have implied that CAD is relatively 18% more common in short patients comparing with tall ones, however, left main coronary artery stenosis and proximal stenosis of coronary arteries are more common in short patients. Obese individuals are more susceptible to severe CAD. The number of atherosclerotic arteries are 1.91±0.62 and 2.43±0.59 in tall (>174 cm) and short (<166 cm) male patients, respectively (p<0.005), however these figures were 1.95±0.53 and 2.35±0.41 in tall (>166 cm) and short (<154 cm) female patients, respectively (p<0.01). Higher involvement of coronary artery in short individuals may promote cardiovascular disease. So future studies are strongly recommended to determine the relationship between HEIGHT and CAD. In case of positive relation as found in our study, more care should be taken for eliminating risk factors in short individuals.
