The Investigation of the Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Coronary Artery Calcium Index

Amaç: Bu çalışmada vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ile koroner arter kalsiyum skoru (KAKs) arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Anabilim Dalımızda 1 Mart 2014 ile 1 Şubat 2016 tarihleri arasında çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi (ÇKBT) ile koroner anjiyografi yapılmış olgulara ait hastane dosyaları ve kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Diyabet, hipertansiyon malignite, kronik hastalığı olanlar ve sigara içenler çalışmaya dahil edilmedi. Olgular VKİ'sine göre beş gruba ayrıldı. Agatston'un kalsiyum skorlaması kullanılarak her bir olgunun koroner arter kalsiyum skorları tek tek hesaplandı. Verilerin istatistiksel analizi için, gruplar arası farklılıklar tek yönlü varyans analizi, VKİ ile KAKs arasındaki ilişki için regresyon analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Tüm hastalar, VKİ'lerine göre 5 gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1'in kalsiyum skoru ortalaması; 0.62±0.15, grup 2'nin 21±3, grup 3'ün 126±25, grup 4'ün 340±17 ve grup 5'in de 887±32 olarak bulundu. VKİ ile KAKs arasında, grup 3,4 ve 5' te anlamlı pozitif korelasyon vardı (Grup 3 r=0.34, Grup 4 r=0.62, Grup 5 r=0.53, p

Vücut Kitle İndeksi İle Koroner Arterlerin Kalsiyum İndeksi Arasındaki İlişkinin Araştırılması

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between body mass index and coronary artery calcium score. Material and Methods: The patient files and records belonging to ones who underwent multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography between 1 March 2014 and 1 February 2016 in our clinic were examined retrospectively. Those who had diabetes, hypertension, malignity, chronic disease and history of smoking were not included in the study. The patients were divided into five groups according to their body mass index (BMI). The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of each patient was calculated according to Agatston's method. For the statistical analysis of the data, Oneway Anova was used for the differences between the groups, and regression analysis was used for the relationship between BMI and CAC scores. Results: All of the patients were divided into five according to their BMI. The average calcium score was found as 0.62±0.15 for group 1, 21±3 for group 2, 126±25 for group 3, 340±17 for group 4, and 887±32 for group 5. There was a significant positive correlation between BMI and CAC scores value for the group 3, group 4 and group 5 (Group 3 r=0.34, Group 4 r=0.62, Group 5 r=0.53, p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that there is a relationship between BMI and CAC scores indicating that as long as BMI increases, CAC scores increases prominently as well.
