Study Of The Profile Of The Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography In Tertiary Care Hospital In Rural Central India.

Abstract

Objectives
 Coronary artery disease (CAD) is leading cause of mortality. It tends to occur at a younger
age in Indians, with more angiographic involvement contributed by genetic, metabolic,
conventional and nonconventional risk factors. Invasive coronary angiography is the gold
standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease. With the different pattern of stenosis in the
coronaries and the associated multiple risk factors with it, we carried out this study.
Methodology
After getting the approval of the institutional ethical committee, all subjects were briefed
about the study and informed consent in the regional language was taken. The study was
carried for a period of two years.
 Results
From our study hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, smoking, alcohol and Post-menopausal
age still play very important risk factors. Surprisingly, diabetes mellitus was found in down
fall trend .Probably the extensive awareness of diabetes and its complications in the last
decade has created fear and therefore patients have started adapting lifestyle modifications..
Conclusion
Deadly fear of the sudden cardiac death has made this investigation of coronary angiography
a routine investigation because in our study we found 20% of the patients reported self and
underwent angiography.
