摘要：The association of coronary artery disease with hepatitis C has been suggested, but definitive data are still lacking. We aimed to study the association between hepatitis C virus seropositivity and coronary artery disease and to estimate the severity of coronary artery disease in hepatitis C positive patients. The study design is a retrospective case control study. It included two groups of patients with angiographically documented CAD; 100 HCV patients as case group and another 100 non-HCV patients as control group. A detailed qualitative coronary angiographic analysis and Gensini score were used to assess the extent and severity of CAD. The overall results revealed significantly higher Gensini score in the cases group (41.4 ± 30.8) than control group (29.7 ± 21.3), p=0.002. In terms of the number of coronary vessels involved, a distinct pattern with increasing frequency of involvement was noted in the cases group.
