Clinical Profile and Risk Factor of Coronary Artery Disease in Young Indians
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The aim was to study the clinical profile and risk factors in young Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients. Materials & Methods: We studied 132 consecutive young adults with CAD presenting to two tertiary care centres in India over a period of one and half years. We recruited our subjects from various wards of our hospitals where patients presented with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), CSA, Heart failure and Asymptomatic Electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities. Asymptomatic individuals who had incidentally detected ECG abnormality during routine medical examination or pre anesthetic checkup and subsequently diagnosed to have CAD were also included in the study. Results: In this study, Hypertension, Diabetes, past and family history of CAD were similar in the two groups. Tobacco consumption among cases (37.88%) was significantly high (p= 0.0045) compared to controls. Dyslipidemia was very common in both the groups (82 and 87%). HDL- Cholesterol < 40 mg/dl was the commonest lipid abnormality (~ 50%) in both the groups. More than one lipoprotein abnormality was noted in 77 (58.33%) patients in the study group. Conclusion: Typical angina is the commonest presenting symptom and Myocardial infarction is the commonest diagnosis at presentation in young. Anterior wall is the most commonly involved myocardial territory in young Indians.
