Abstract

We aimed to evaluate the frequency, clinical profiles and outcomes of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), and their association with coronary artery disease (CAD) in a small country with high cardiovascular burden. Methods. Data were collected for all adult patients who underwent abdominal computed tomography scans at Hamad General Hospital in Qatar between 2004 and 2008. Results. Out of 13,115 screened patients for various reasons, 61 patients (0.5%) had abdominal aneurysms. The majority of AAA patients were male (82%) with a mean age of 67 ± 12 years. The incidence of AAA substantially increased with age reaching up to 5% in patients >80 yrs. Hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor for AAA followed by smoking, dyslipidemia, renal impairment, and diabetes mellitus. CAD and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) were observed in 36% and 13% of AAA patients, respectively. There were no significant correlations between CAD or PAD and site and size of AAA. Conclusion. This is the largest study in our region that describes the epidemiology of AAA with concomitant CAD. As the mortality rate is quite high in this high risk population, routine screening for AAA in CAD patients and vice versa needs further studies for proper risk stratification.

一个高心血管负担小国的腹主动脉瘤和冠状动脉疾病。
我们的目的是评估腹主动脉瘤(AAA)的频率、临床特征和结局,以及它们与冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的关系。方法。收集了2004年至2008年间在卡塔尔哈马德总医院接受腹部计算机断层扫描的所有成年患者的数据。结果。在13115名因各种原因接受筛查的患者中,61名患者(0.5%)患有腹部动脉瘤。AAA患者以男性居多(82%),平均年龄67±12岁。在>80岁的患者中,随着年龄的增长,AAA的发生率显著增加,最高可达5%。高血压是AAA最常见的危险因素,其次是吸烟、血脂异常、肾功能损害和糖尿病。冠心病和外周动脉疾病(PAD)分别占AAA患者的36%和13%。冠心病、PAD与AAA部位、大小无显著相关性。这是本地区描述AAA合并CAD流行病学的最大研究。由于这一高危人群的死亡率相当高,对于冠心病患者的AAA常规筛查和冠心病患者的AAA常规筛查都需要进一步的研究来进行适当的风险分层。
