Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome is one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world today. There has been constant effort on the part of medical researchers to analyze this problem and search for factors that may aid in its prevention. Materials and Methods: The present study was undertaken in the Department of Cardiology/General Medicine in the MGM Hospital, Warangal. A total of 50 cases were studied, which were admitted consecutively (not picked up at random) during the month of June 2013-April 2015. The patients were in the age group of 25-70 years and had the complaints of chest pain/chest discomfort, breathlessness, vomiting, sweating, and near syncope/syncope variably. Results: This study shows that in patients with acute coronary artery syndromes, a maximum number of patients (90%) presented with chest pain as a symptom. Majority were in the age group of 51-60 years (40%) followed by 61-70 years (36%) age group. Majority of them (42%) had anterior wall (ST elevation myocardial infarction) transmural infarct. Majority of them were in lower socioeconomic status group. Vegetarian diet rich in carbohydrates is the staple diet. It might be one of the factors for increased triglyceride levels in this group of patients. Conclusion: Sedentary lifestyle, low socioeconomic status, smoking, diabetes, and hypertension are risk factors for acute coronary syndromes.
