Abstract
Coronary artery diseases (CAD) are chronic disorders in which atherosclerosis plays a major role in their pathogenesis. Their severity is directly related to cardiovascular outcomes. The assessment of Coronary Artery severity is quite complex, in which different parameters are used, such as the gensini score, syntax score, etc. This was a retrospective study of adult (≥18 years) patients who underwent angiography in Mogadishu Somali Türkiye Training and Research Hospital from June 2022 to September 2023. Gensini scores were calculated to determine the extent and severity of atherosclerosis among patients with coronary artery disease. A total of 278 participants (78% male and 22%% women) were analyzed. Their risk factors were assessed with hypertension being the leading risk factor (48%). While a significant relationship was found between gensini score and dyslipidemia in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease (p 0.035), no significance was found with other risk factors On the other hand, the Gensini score had a significant correlation with the final decision of management (medical, PCI vs CABG). This study indicated that the Gensini score can be used as a guide for CAD decisions.
