Abstract :

Background: .In developing countries like India CAD is one of the major causes of death. The pattern of coronary artery dominance has a significant clinical role. Left dominance is said to be associated with increase in acute coronary syndrome. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of coronary artery dominance in Kashmiri population. Materials and Methods : The study was carried on 150 patients above 18 years of age who after routine clinical evaluation were to undergo coronary angiography for various indications and their angiogram was labelled as normal by cardiologist. Results: A total of 150 patients were included in the study, among them 102 were male and 48 were female patients. The mean age for females was 56.4�10.22 years with range from 40–89 years. The mean age of males were 56.1�10.83 years with range from 30–89 years. Right coronary artery was dominant in 130 (86.67%) subjects, left coronary artery was dominant in 15 (10%) subjects and co–dominant circulation was found in 5(3.33%) subjects. Conclusion: The right coronary artery dominance is more prevalent in Kashmiri population. Knowledge about coronary artery dominance provides helpful information to anatomist and is essential for interventional cardiologist.
