BACKGROUND: @entity453 ( @entity1585 ) is a localized or diffuse abnormal dilatation of coronary arteries. Controversy still remains about its cardiovascular events rate, prognosis, and etiology. Adverse effects of @entity1585 coinciding with @entity3979 ( @entity3979 ) (and in isolated form) are unclear. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate the cardiovascular event rate of @entity1585 in comparison to ' @entity3979 only', and comparing their etiology. @entity1 AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 @entity1 between May 2011 and June 2012. Of them, 40 had @entity1585 ( @entity1585 ) and 160 had only @entity3979 (control group). @entity1 with @entity1585 were divided into 2 subgroups according to the absence (E1) or presence (E2) of @entity3979 . They were followed up for at least 6 month for cardiovascular events, including death, unstable @entity951 and @entity583 ( @entity583 ). Finally, we compared findings in @entity1585 , @entity3979 , and @entity6860 2 subgroups and evaluated the relationship between severity of @entity4122 (1-1.5 times, 1.5-2 times, and > 2 times) and @entity3979 . RESULTS: @entity101 ( @entity101 ), @entity2299 ( @entity2299 ), and male sex were matched in both groups without significant difference. Cigarette smoking (C/S) was significantly higher and @entity6 ( @entity6 ) was significantly lower in @entity1585 compared to @entity3979 @entity1 . A subgroup of @entity1585 @entity1 with @entity3979 (E2 subgroup) had significantly higher mortality rate than isolated @entity3979 (P = 0.043). @entity583 was seen in several @entity3491 @entity1 (E1) subgroup. Severity of @entity4122 showed no significant relationship with @entity3979 . CONCLUSIONS: Presence of @entity1585 in @entity1 with @entity3979 increases its cardiovascular event rate. Isolated @entity1585 is not a benign finding and @entity583 can occur. Risk factors of @entity1585 are similar to @entity3979 , but C/S is more associated with @entity1585 than @entity3979 . @entity6 is seen in @entity1585 @entity1 less than @entity3979 .
