ABSTRACT
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the major cause of death in
United States1 as well as globally. It usually present as severe
chest pain.
Aim: To determine the incidence
of left coronary artery disease (LCAD) among high risk patients presenting with
chest pain.
Methodology:
This
study was conducted in Department of cardiology, Services hospital, Lahore for
6 months. Both genders (n=246) with age
(35-75years) were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent coronary angiography which was a gold standard to
diagnose coronary artery disease.: Collected data was analysed using SPSS Version
11.0. Numerical data like age and gender
with diabetes and hypertension variables were presented as frequency and percentages.Chi Square test was applied with
significant p value (≤0.05).
Results:
Patients
(n=246) with mean age of 52.42±9.39 years. Out of 246 patients 160 (65.04%)
were males and 86(34.96%) were females. Out of 246 patients, 190(77.20%)
patients had left main coronary artery disease. Out of 134 hypertensive
patients, 105(78.20%) patients had left main coronary artery disease. Out of
118 diabetic patients, 92(78%) patients had left main coronary artery disease. Left
main coronary artery disease was insignificantly associated with diabetes and
hypertension as (P>0.05).
Conclusion:
We concluded
that in patients of ACS, diabetes and hypertension are risk factors for LMCA
stenosis and predictor of serious complications of coronary heart
disease.
Keywords:
Electrocardiography, Diabetes,
Hypertension.
