Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The interventional treatment option for the coronary artery disease has recently gained popularity. This study was intended to elaborate Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and coronary angiographic profile in patients with coronary artery disease. Material & Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted over one year period. The patients with significant Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) by angiogram were included in this study. The p value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Total 135 patients with CAD were enrolled with mean age of 59.65±10.32. Total 59.24% of males and 40.74% of females underwent Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) (p=0.00234). Total 67.40% of patients had hypertension, 48.75% of male patients had history of tobacco consumption, 27.5% of males and 21.81% of females had Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), 58.75% of males and 43.63% of females had dyslipidemia, 33.75% of males and 23.63% of females had obesity, 33.75% of males and 30.90% of females had metabolic syndrome. Total 41.25% of males and 45.45% of females had affection of Left Anterior Descending (LAD) (p=0.0207), 18.75% of males and 20% of females had Left Circumflex (LCx) lesion or Right Coronary Artery (RCA). Total 10% of males and 9.09% of females had LAD and LCX lesion. Total 7.5% of males and 9% of females had affection of LAD+ RCA. Among 22.5% of males and 16.36% of females received bare metal stents and 77.5% of males and 83.62% of females received drug eluting stents. The case fatality rate was 1.41%. Conclusions: Study highlights the burden of modifiable coronary artery disease risk factors like, hypertension, obesity and metabolic syndrome undergoing PTCA. Male patients outnumbered with most common coronary artery lesion being LAD. Our findings suggest that favorable outcomes, matching the international data can be achieved in a rural hospital setting.
