Does intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) measure larger coronary artery dimensions compared to quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) in a North Indian population?
IVUS yields significantly larger coronary artery dimension measurements than QCA, and baseline coronary size does not appear to be a risk factor for acute coronary syndrome.
The coronary artery dimensions by IVUS are significantly larger than QCA. No gender difference in coronary artery size. Age was an independent predictor of coronary artery size in left main and LAD. The coronary artery size may not be a risk factor for acute coronary syndrome.
