Incidence of coronary artery disease in asymptomatic obese individuals
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
Aims: To find out evidence of coronary artery disease in asymptomatic obese individuals by treadmill stress test -modified bruce protocol. To study left ventricular function in these individuals by 2D Echocardiography Obesity being one of the major risk factor for coronary artery disease present study was undertaken to find out evidence of coronary artery disease in asymptomatic obese individuals. 50 asymptomatic obese individuals were studied both males and females having Body Mass Index more than 30. Treadmill stress test was performed in each case by using modified Bruce protocol. Test was positive in 22% individuals. Left ventricular hypertrophy was found in 32% and diastolic dysfunction in 10% individuals. Thus there is rise in cardiovascular risk like hypertension and incidence of coronary artery disease as BMI increases.
