Abstract
Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluate sociodemographic characteristics of Coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.
Method: This cross-sectional observational study was done in the in the NICVD, Dhakafrom October 2010 to September 2011. A total of 100 consecutive patients were included. Study populations were sub-divided into two groups on the basis of cTn I level. In group I cTn I level ≥20ng/ml and in group II cTn I level <20ng/ml. 50 patients were included in group I and 50 patients were included in group II.
Results: In group-1 and group-2 most of patients were male, only 10% and 12% were female. Mean random blood sugar was 11.4±5.4 mg/dl in group I and 9.1±4.1 mg/dl in group II, with statistically significant difference (p=0.02) between the two groups. The mean serum creatinine of the group I was 1.0±0.2 mg/dl and of group II was 1.0±0.3 mg/dl. six percent patients had left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%, 41% had LVEF between (40 - 49%) and 52% had LVEF at the level of (50% or >50%). In contrast, none of the patients in group II had ejection fraction <40% and 40% had ejection fraction between (40 - 49%) and 60% had ejection fraction at the level of (50% or >50%).
Conclusion: From our study we can conclude that, poor sociodemographic and economic characteristics rationally affect CAD patients. However, the result of this study needs further confirmation in a large scale multi Centre prospective cohort study.
Keywords: Coronary heart disease (CHD), sociodemographic characteristics, serum creatinine.
