Previous small series have provided conflicting data on the association between coronary artery aneurysms and traditional cardiac risk factors, as well as limited information on patient outcomes. This investigation sought to determine whether the presence of coronary artery aneurysms has an adverse affect on patient outcomes. The results show that coronary aneurysms were an independent predictor of mortality, and overall 5-year survival in patients with aneurysms was any 71%. We believe that clinicians should aggressively monitor and modify coronary risk factors in patients with coronary aneurysms. (C) 2004 by Excerpta Medica, Inc.
