Preexisting Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis in Patients with and without Cancer

Figure 2

Severity of CAA in cancer and no-cancer patients. (a–d) Comparison of severity of CAA between cancer and no-cancer patients. (a) Cancer patients were more likely to have worse CAA compared with the cancer-free controls. (b), (c), (d) Cancer patients were slightly more likely to have ≥50%, ≥75%, and ≥90% coronary stenosis compared with the cancer-free controls. (e–h) Comparison of severity of CAA between gender- and age-matched cancer and no-cancer group. (h) Patients in the cancer group were significantly more commonly complicated by ≥90% coronary stenosis than patients in the no-cancer group (9/93 versus 1/93, OR = 4.875, 95% CI: 1.024–23.213, ).
