Objective To explore the difference of cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery lesion between Hui nationality and Han nationality patients with premature coronary heart disease.
Methods A total of 316 patients with premature coronary heart disease were divided into two groups, including the Hui group (78 cases) and the Han group (238 cases). Eight risk factors for premature coronary heart disease (including age, gender, body mass index, familial heredity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking history) and coronary artery lesion characteristics were compared between the two groups.
Results Compared with the Han group, the Hui group had a higher prevalence of smoking history and myocardial infarction, but a lower prevalence of angina (P lt;0.05). Type A disease was the major type in both Hui and Han groups. Compared with the Han group, the rate of type C were higher. Single-vessel lesion was the major lesion in both Hui and Han groups. The incidence of three-vessel lesion in the Han group was significantly lower than that in the Hui group. Gensini score in the Hui group was higher than that in the Han group, with a significant difference (P lt;0.05).
Conclusion Hui patients with premature coronary artery disease are more than Han patients with premature coronary artery disease in proportions of smoking, diabetes, and the lesions of the left anterior descending artery, the right coronary artery disease, three-vessel disease rate, and C-type lesions. The coronary artery disease of the Hui group is more serious.
