Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and Acute Myocardial infarction (MI) are a major cause of death and morbidity. Cardiovascular disease remains leading cause of death in women in most part of the world.1 Atherosclerosis is the major cause of cardiovascular disease and coronary atherosclerosis is the main cause of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Acute coronary syndrome is classified into two groups name patients with acute ST segment elevation MI(STEMI) on their presenting electrocardiogram (ECG) and those with Non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI). Aim & Objective: 1.To study Clinical profile of ST Segment elevation MI (STEMI) in female patient. 2.To analyze various risk factors in female patient of acute ST segment elevation MI.3. To study the outcome in women with acute ST Segment elevation MI admitted in ICCU. Methods: Hospital based Cross sectional study. Study setting: Cardiology Department of tertiary care centre. Study duration: from January 2016 to December 2016 Study population: The study population included all the cases with Acute ST segment elevation Myocardial infarction in female patients admitted at a tertiary care center. Sample size: 100 Results: majority of cases presented with HTN 95%, followed by Diabetes 45%, Obesity 38%, low physical activity 35%,Hyperlipidemia 27%,and Tobacco 12%. majority of cases was belonged in Above 45 years age group e.g 87% and 13 cases was found in less than 45 years age group. Majority of cases were discharged e.g 64 cases and 35 cases were died, 1 case discharged against medical advice. The proportion of HTN among STEMI outcome cases was 10.52% and Non HTN cases was 60%. When statistical analysis using Chi- square test was done, proportion of HTN among STEMI outcome cases was statistically significant at (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Hypertension is the most common Modifiable Risk factor for STEMI. Age above 30 years and Family history of MI is the most common Non modifiable risk factors for STEMI. Proportion of HTN among STEMI outcome cases was statistically significant at (p < 0.05).
