Abstract
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are major health problem throughout the world and common cause of premature morbidity and mortality.1 Today CVD accounts for approximately 30% deaths worldwide including nearly 40% in high income countries and about 28% in middle and low income countries. The global rise in CVD is the result of industrialization, urbanization and associated life style changes.2 Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective descriptive study carried out in cardiovascular emergency patients who were admitted in the ICU unit of tertiary care hospital of RIMS, Kadapa. Case records of cardiovascular patients admitted to the ICU during the period from 1st January 2018 to 31st June 2018 were studied. Incomplete data entry case records were excluded from the study Results: Analysis of 122 patients was done. Most common cardiovascular emergency was myocardial infarction (50.81%) followed by unstable angina (36.88%) (Table 1). Among 122 patients, incidence of male patients (65.57%) was found more than female (34.42%). Male to female ratio was found 1.83. (Table 2) In each age group, incidence of cardiovascular emergencies was found more in male patients as compared to female patients. Incidence of cardiovascular emergencies in female patients of age group 31-50yrs was found significantly lower than age group of 51-70 yrs.
