Abstract
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease. It is the result of atheromatous changes in the vessels supplying the heart. CAD is used to describe a range of clinical disorders from asymptomatic atherosclerosis and stable angina to acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina, NSTEMI, STEMI). Objective: To assess the clinical status of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July, 2017 to Dec, 2017. Total 110 confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD) patients were included as the study subjects for this study. A predesigned questionnaire was used in data collection. All data were collected, processed and analyzed by using MS Office and SPSS version 23 programs as per need. Results: In this study, among total 110 participants, 67.3% were male and the rest 32.7% were female. The mean (±SD) age and BMI of the participants were 47.28±11.87 years and 23.68± 2.44 Kg/m2 respective. The waist and hip circumferences of the participants were found 89.81±10.32 cm and 106.82±18.56 cm respectively. The mean (±SD) total cholesterol (mg/dl), S creatinine (mg/dl) and ESR (mm in 1st hour) of the participants were found as 177.69±31.55, 1.6±0.04 and 26.55±5.17 respectively. Conclusion: The frequency of coronary artery disease among male population is found as alarming. The abnormalities in waist or hip circumferences, total cholesterol (mg/dl), S creatinine (mg/dl) and ESR (mm in 1st hour) of patients may be considered as some potential indicator for coronary artery diseases.
