Key result
Coronary angiographic measurements in 441 Sudanese adults revealed an average left coronary artery diameter of 3.96mm, which significantly correlated with age, gender, BMI, and cardiovascular risks.
Why the study?
The main left coronary artery and its branches show wide morphological variability in caliber on angiographic imaging, prompting this study to determine these diameters and their correlation with personal and health data in the Sudanese population.
Observational (n=441)
This study establishes baseline angiographic measurements for the left coronary artery and its branches in a Sudanese population, noting significant correlations with cardiovascular risk factors.

Provides reference coronary diameters for Sudanese adults; leaves open whether these values aid risk prediction or generalize beyond this cross-sectional sample.
