Abstract
Introduction: Non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) significantly increases the risk of myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality [1]. Previous studies revealed that statin therapy significantly reduces the rate of mortality in patients with non-obstructive CAD [2]. Aspirin therapy also lowers the risk of mortality, but only in high risk patients with non-obstructive CAD [3]. However, non-obstructive CAD patients are less likely to receive secondary prevention therapy than patients with obstructive CAD [4]. Aim: To evaluate the implementation of pharmacological secondary prevention with statins and aspirin in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Methods: The study included 296 patients with stable angina who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and were diagnosed with non-obstructive coronary artery stenoses (<50%) in the period between 2013 to 2015. Non-obstructive coronary stenoses were categorized according to CAD-RADS (Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System) classification: 0 - (0%, absence of CAD), 1 - (1-24% - minimal non-obstructive CAD), 2 - (25-49%, mild non-obstructive CAD). Telephone survey was conducted to identify the type of chest pain , the incidence of major coronary events (MACE) and the rates of statins and aspirin therapy. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS v.20; Chi square and Pearson correlation tests were used for comparison between categorical variables. The significance level was <0.05. [...].
