CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING CORONARY INTERVENTION VIA RADIAL ARTERY ACCESS AT THE SECOND FACILITY OF HANOI HEART HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Coronary angiography (CAG) is considered the gold standard for diagnosing and evaluating coronary artery disease. The radial artery approach is increasingly preferred due to its advantages in reducing bleeding complications and enhancing patient comfort. Objective: To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing coronary intervention via radial artery access. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 1,387 patients from January 2023 to June 2023 at the Interventional Cardiology Department of the second facility of Hanoi Heart Hospital. Data were collected from medical records and analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: Among the 1,387 patients, 64.3% were male and 35.7% were female. The average age was 66.2 ± 10.7 years, with the 65–80 age group accounting for the highest proportion (48.7%). Common comorbidities included hypertension (57.8%) and heart failure (41.7%). Additionally, 23.4% of patients had a history of previous coronary interventions. Conclusion: Coronary artery disease is more prevalent in men, with the elderly population and comorbidities such as hypertension and heart failure being the main risk factors.
