Abstract

Background: Unknown is the predictive value of the coronary artery diameter without the administration of vasomotor stimuli. A small reference diameter of the target vessel has been demonstrated to be an adverse prognostic factor in patients undergoing revascularisation. The present study investigated the prognostic value of the proximal non-stenotic left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) diameter in patients referred for a first diagnostic angiogram, without a previous revascularisation. Methods: A total of 277 patients (mean age 57 year, 61% male) were eligible for analysis. The proximal non-stenotic diameter of the LAD was measured by quantitative coronary angiography without prior nitrate infusion. We defined a small LAD as a diameter
