Key result
Hypertension was the only traditional cardiovascular risk factor significantly associated with coronary artery disease in patients aged >90 years undergoing cardiac catheterization (P=0.005).
Why the study?
Are traditional cardiovascular risk factors associated with coronary artery disease in patients aged >90 years?

p-value: p=0.005
In nonagenarians undergoing cardiac catheterization, hypertension is the only traditional cardiovascular risk factor significantly associated with the presence of coronary artery disease.
Josef Yayan (2014) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=114). Traditional cardiovascular risk factors (including hypertension) vs. Absence of risk factors was evaluated on Presence of coronary artery disease (p=0.005). Hypertension was the only traditional cardiovascular risk factor significantly associated with coronary artery disease in patients aged >90 years undergoing cardiac catheterization (P=0.005).
