Abstract

Coronary artery disease which was once thought to be a disease of the urban populations now involving the rural community in an increased number. The global burden of coronary artery disease (CAD) is well documented. In most industrialized countries, CAD are leading cause of disability and death. Developing countries with previous low rates of CAD are now registering increased rates as economy develops Aim & Objective: 1. Prevalence of Dyslipidemia in ischemic heart disease. 2. To study the association of various risk factors with ischemic heart disease. Methods: Study design: A Cross Sectional Study. Study setting: Cardiology department of tertiary care centre. Study population: The study population included all the cases with ischemic heart disease patients admitted at a tertiary care center Sample size: 110 Results: majority of cases presented with HTN 59.09%, followed by Diabetes 40.90%, Obesity 34.54%, low physical activity 31.81%, Prevalence of Dyslipidemia was 33.63%, and Tobacco 10.90%. majority of cases age above 30 years 100% and 12 patients had a Family history of IHD. majority of cases was belonged in Above 45 years age group e.g 88.18% and 13 cases was found in less than 45 years age group. Males e.g 80 (72.72%) and 40 cases found in females (27.28%). The proportion of HTN among IHD cases was 30.76% and Non HTN cases was 69.24%. When statistical analysis using Chi- square test was done, proportion of HTN among IHD cases was statistically NOT significant at (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Hypertension is the most common Modifiable Risk factor for IHD, Prevalence of Dyslipidemia among IHD cases was 33.63%
