Why the study?
Ionizing radiation from coronary angiography carries known health risks and obesity is epidemic, prompting investigation into whether BMI affects patient radiation dose during diagnostic coronary angiography.
Does Body Mass Index affect the radiation dose received by patients during diagnostic coronary angiography?
Cross-Sectional (n=48)
Does Body Mass Index affect the radiation dose received by patients during diagnostic coronary angiography?
p-value: p=0.003 and 0.006
Higher Body Mass Index is significantly associated with increased radiation doses (DAP and KERMA) during diagnostic coronary angiography.

Sumarsono et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Undergoing coronary angiography (n=48). Body Mass Index (BMI) vs. Normal BMI was evaluated on Radiation dose parameters (DAP and KERMA) (p=0.003 and 0.006).
