Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Considering high prevalence of Anemia in general population and direct impact on patient health, Anemia causes important physiologic effect on the cardiovascular system; however studies measuring Anemia prevalence in population is rare. CVDs, are the most common cause of death worldwide, including (40%) in high-income countries, and (28%) in low and middle-income countries. Present study was performed to analyze the prevalence of Anemia in patients with cardiovascular disease. Method: The study was conducted at MGM hospital with 100 ST-elevated myocardial infarction patients between 18 to 70 years age group. Results: The most common age group amongst study population was 51 to 60 years. 15 % of study population had anemia. Anemia was observed most commonly in the age group of 51 to 60 years. There was statistically no significant difference between sex and study population. Anemia was observed in 17.9 % of hypertension (7 out 39 cases). There was statistically significant difference between TB and study population and it was statistically not significant between hypertension. There was statistically no significant difference between CPKMB and study population. There was statistically significant difference between MCV and study population. There was statistically significant difference between MCH and study population. There was statistically significant difference between TIBC and study population. There was statistically significant difference between Serum Vitamin B 12and study population. Conclusion: The study concluded that the anterior wall myocardial infarction is more commonly associated with anemia. Iron deficiency anemia was observed to be the most prevalent type of anemia seen in STEMI. Appropriate treatment of anemia may lead to decrease in morbidity.
