Cardiovascular disease accounts for over 950 000 deaths and an estimated $151 billion in direct and indirect costs. Because of this escalating clinical and financial burden, economic analysis has become essential for the evaluation of preventative therapies for vascular disease. Economic analysis compares competing interventions or management strategies for costs and benefits; more specifically, cost-effectiveness analysis compares cost in financial terms like dollars to measures of effectiveness like years of life saved. Important concepts in the creation of a valid cost-effectiveness analysis include perspective, time horizon, measurement of costs and effectiveness and sensitivity analysis. In patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease, most morbidity and mortality arises from complications of coronary artery disease. Because coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial occlusive disease commonly occur together and share risk factors, pathophysiology and response to preventative therapy, economic evaluations of preventative therapies for coronary artery disease have relevance for patients with vascular disease. Cost-effectiveness analysis reveals that modification of vascular risk factors like tobacco use, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia improve clinical outcomes at acceptable cost-effectiveness ratios, usually less than $20 000 per year of life saved. More importantly, interventions like smoking cessation or lipid modification in high-risk groups may be cost saving, with treatment costs outweighed by financial benefits. From the patient, clinician and societal perspective, cost-effectiveness analysis supports the aggressive modification of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is under diagnosed in primary care practices, yet the extent of unrecognized PAD in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown.Objective: To assess the prevalence of previously unrecognized PAD in patients undergoing coronary angiogram and to determine the relationship between presence of PAD and severity of CAD. Material &Methods: This five years retrospective study was conducted at invasive lab of the department of Cardiology, Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital & Research Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2010 to December 2014. Total 77 patients were included in this study. Study variables were age, sex, risk factors like hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, smoking habit and positive family history for ischemic heart disease, severity of coronary artery and peripheral artery disease.Results: Mean age was 56.83±13.64 years, Male mean age was 53.98±15.08 years and female mean age was 54.5±1.73years. Hypertension were detected in 55.8%, diabetes in 87%, dyslipidaemia in 81.8%, smoking habits in 88.3% and 58.4% had positive family history. After catheterization 88.3% had peripheral arterial disease and 71.4% had coronary artery disease. Out of 77 patients 52 had both coronary and peripheral arterial disease which was statistically significant (p<.014). Coronary angiogram revealed 28.6% (22) patients had triple vessel disease, 23.3% (18) had single vessel disease, 19.5% (15) had double vessel disease and 28.6% (22) were normal coronary arteries. Peripheral angiogram revealed 51.9% had superficial femoral artery disease, 24.7% had anterior tibial artery disease, 26% had posterior tibial artery disease, 15.6% had common iliac artery and common femoral artery disease and 2.6% had renal artery disease.Conclusion: There is a strong and definite correlation between coronary and peripheral arterial disease. We found that cardiovascular risk factors were in fact risk factors for both PAD and CAD.University Heart Journal Vol. 11, No. 2, July 2015; 79-84

Aims: Coronary artery disease is a devastating disease precisely because an otherwise healthy person in the prime of life may die or become disabled without warning. The objectives were to study the clinical profile, risk factors prevalence, angiographic distribution and severity of coronary artery stenosis in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients admitted in Cardiology Department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka.Materials and Methods: A total of 800 patients of ACS were analyzed for various risk factors, angiographic patterns and severity of coronary artery disease at DMCH, Dhaka, Bangladesh.Results: Mean age of presentation was 51.27±8.80 years. Majority were male 628 (78.5%) and rest were females (21.5%). Most patients had ST elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) 509 (63.6%) followed by non-STEMI (NSTEMI) 207 (25.9%) and Unstable Angina (UA) 84 (10.5%). Risk factors: smoking was present in 388 (48.5%), hypertension in 289 (36.13%), diabetes in 235 (29.38%), dyslipidaemia in 169 (21.13%) and obesity in 356 (44.5%) patients. Singlevessel disease was present in 30.32% patients, Doublevessel disease was present in 23.23% patients and Triple vessel disease was present in 27.15% patients.Conclusion: STEMI was the most common presentation. ACS occurred earlier in comparison to Western population. Smoking was most prevalent risk factor. Diabetic patients had more multivessel disease.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2018; 33(1) : 10-15
