Abstract
Objectives: objectives of our study was to evaluate the clinical profile and angiographic studyof female patients with coronary artery disease.
Methodology: A complete assessment, physical examination and relevant investigations like routine investigations, EKG, echocardiogram, lipid profile, CRP, specific cardiac bio-markers (Troponin T/I, CK-MB), coronary angiogram was performed to patients with coronary artery disease.
Results: Data was analyzed by using simple statistical methods with the help of MS-Office software.
Conclusions: Post menopausal women was more prone to coronary artery disease. Chest pain was the common symptoms, vomiting, palpitation, sweating and shortness of breathing were the second common symptoms followed to each other. Dyslipidemia and hypertension was the greater risk factors of ischemic heart disease. Hypercholesterolemia was the common type of dyslipidemia in IHD patients with CAD. ST – elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) was commonly seen in IHD patients. Majority of patients with STEMI presented delayed fibrinolysis. Streptokinase was commonly used as fibrinolytic agent. Clopidogrel was commonly used as antiplatelets. Single vessel disease (SVD) lesion was commonly seen in patients with CAD. Left anterior descending (LAD) artery was commonly involved in single vessel disease (SVD) of patients with CAD.
Keywords: Female patients, risk factors, coronary angiography, ischemic heart disease, coronary artery disease.
