“Retrospective Study on the Effect of Comorbid Conditions and Prevalence of Ischemic Heart Disease in Quaternary Care Hospital.”
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle and no alternative blood supply exists, so a blockage in the coronary arteries reduces the supply of blood to heart muscle. Most ischemic heart disease is caused by atherosclerosis, usually present even when the artery lumens appear normal by angiography. Most patients have more than one health condition, and therefore the assessment of comorbidity is important for patient care, for quality assurance, and for the evaluation of therapy. Comorbid diseases may affect multiple clinical outcomes, including mortality, functional capacity, quality of life, and cost. Clinical intuition tells us that diabetes, for example, has a strong effect on all of these outcomes and thus that the presence or absence of diabetes should be considered in the management of patients with coronary disease. Other comorbid conditions, such as chronic lung disease or renal insufficiency, probably have detrimental effects on outcome. Comorbid conditions in a patient with coronary disease may affect outcome directly or indirectly by reducing the patient's physiologic reserve and thereby increasing the risk of adverse outcome of coronary disease.
