Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease .The disease is caused by plaque building up along the inner walls of the arteries of the heart, which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart. While the symptoms and signs of coronary artery disease are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with coronary artery disease show no evidence of disease for decades as the disease progresses before the first onset of symptoms, often a "sudden" heart attack, finally arises. Symptoms of stable ischaemic heart disease include angina (characteristic chest pain on exertion) and decreased exercise tolerance. Materials and Methods: This Prospective study was done at Tertiary care hospital from Oct 2022 to April 2023 Dept. of cardiology, Sri Jayadeva institute of cardiology, Kalaburagi Results: In our study out of 50 asymptomatic obese individuals maximum,18(36%) were between 41-50 years of age.12 out of 50 i.e.24% were between 51-60 years of age. female predominant. In our study out of 50 , 31(62%) were females and 19(38%) were males. Conclusion: Obesity is more common in middle age group i.e. between 41-60 years of age. As BMI increases there is increase in cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension and dyslipidaemia in asymptomatic obese individuals.so regular screening for these risk factors is recommended in asymptomatic obese individuals.
