Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: India is not only the high burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but also the effects of these diseases on the productive workforce aged 35–65 years. An observational, cross sectional study-comprising patients of acute myocardial infarction admitted in Intensive Coronary Care Unit of JNMCH, AMU Aligarh was conducted to study socio-demographic factors and risk factors associated with two age groups. Hypertension and smoking was found to be significant risk factor associated with patients of acute coronary syndrome of less than 40 years. In patients in younger age group, 61.5% were smokers, 36.5% were hypertensive, 21.1% were obese and 17.3% had DM. Dyslipidemia was present in 15.4% of patients, with past history of CAD in 32.7% & family history of CAD in 13.5%. In elderly age group, 65.4% were hypertensive, 13.7% had obesity, DM & smoking were present in 28.8% each & 17.3% had dyslipidemia. Past history of CAD is present in 25% & family history in 15.4% patients. Young ACS is a social as well as economic burden on the society. As the incidence of Young CAD is rising particularly in Indian subcontinent, genetic makeup of this population has been implicated apart from conventional risk factors.
