Coronary angiographic findings and conventional coronary artery disease risk factors of Indo-Guyanese immigrants with stable angina pectoris and acute coronary syndromes.

Abstract

We conclude that IG immigrants presenting for coronary angiography have significantly higher rates of 3-vessel CAD as well as higher rates of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia than Caucasians. Aggressive screening, prevention and treatment may be warranted in this cohort.
