Angiographic Profile of Patient with Unstable Angina: An Observational Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. In CAD, atherosclerotic plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries and restricts the flow of blood and, therefore, the delivery of oxygen to the heart. Aim: This study aims to study the relationship of the clinical profile with coronary angiographic profile in patients with unstable angina. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 patients underwent coronary angiogram through femoral or radial access using Judkins technique. Demographic variables included age and gender, history of smoking, and family history were collected. Electrocardiogram and echocardiogram were done. Results: Smoking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension (HTN) are major risk factors for unstable angina. ST elevations in aVR are seen in nine patients. The left ventricular dysfunction was seen in 13 patients, who showed the left main coronary artery lesion in three patients, three-vessel disease (3VD) in nine patients. 13 patients had a single VD, 12 patients had two VD, 13 patients had 3VD, and 12 patients had normal/insignificant coronary lesions. Conclusion: Major risk factors of CAD are the same around the world. Tobacco use, dyslipidemia, and HTN are the main determinants of population attributable risk worldwide.
