Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Aims: Our study aimed to analyze variation in platelet count in patients with acute coronary syndrome with habits such as smoking, smokeless tobacco and alcoholics. Materials & Methods: Total 300 adult (18 years above) patients with clinically suspected acute coronary syndrome who attended in cardiac emergency and admitted in acute coronary care unit in the department of Cardiology S. P. Medical College Bikaner were enrolled in this study. Out of them 200 patients had ECG changes (ST-elevation, ST-depression, T-inversion, appearance of Q-wave) with or without elevated troponin I and treated with anti-platelet drugs. Those were considered as acute coronary syndrome patients. The subjects were grouped into three groups according to their habits (smoking, smokeless tobacco and alcoholics). Results: Comparing the mean of two groups (Present vs. absent) in cases of alcoholics, t test showed significantly (p<0.05) different and higher (PDW) and lower (PCT) while significantly (p<0.05) different in Alcoholics present group compared to alcoholics absent group. Nevertheless, mean of rest parameters not differed (p>0.05) between the two groups (Present vs. Absent) i.e. found to be statistically not significant. Conclusion: It was observed that there were statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in all the parameters (PDW and PCT) estimated in drinkers while not in smokers and smokeless tobacco users.
