A prospective randomized cohort study was done in 100 patients and the study population consisted 50 patients with unheralded acute myocardial infarction and 50 with uncomplicated stable angina pectoris. The main objectives of the study were to compare the angiographic severity between the two clinical subsets of IHD. The study observed that regarding number of vessels diseased , the AMI group had 1.52±0.68 compared with 2.37±0.85 vessels for the angina group reflecting significantly higher diseased vessel in latter group (P<0.001). In comparison with unheralded AMI, the stable angina group had greater number of stenoses(4.16±1.9 vs 2.14±1.5, P<0.001) and also greater number of occlusions(0.80±0.65 vs 0.44±0.31, P<0.001 ). Thus from the above data it is clear that single vessel disease is more frequent in AMI group and double- and tripple vessel diseases are more prevalent in angina group and fewer stenoses and discrete type of lesions in the former and more number of diseased vessels, more stenoses, and diffuse type of lesions in the latter.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/uhj.v8i1.11659   University Heart Journal Vol. 8, No. 1, January 2012

Background: Red and processed meat intake have been associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality, and a restricted intake is encouraged in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, evidence on the association between total meat intake and clinical outcomes in this patient group is lacking.Objectives: To investigate the association between total meat intake and risk of all-cause mortality, acute myocardial infarction, cancer, and gastrointestinal cancer in patients with stable angina pectoris. We also investigated whether age modified these associations.Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study consisted of 1,929 patients (80% male, mean age 62 years) with stable angina pectoris from the Western Norway B-Vitamin Intervention Trial. Dietary assessment was performed by the administration of a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the association between a relative increase in total meat intake and the outcomes of interest.Results: The association per 50 g/1,000 kcal higher intake of total meat with morbidity and mortality were generally inconclusive but indicated an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction [HR: 1.26 (95% CI: 0.98, 1.61)] and gastrointestinal cancer [1.23 (0.70, 2.16)]. However, we observed a clear effect modification by age, where total meat intake was associated with an increased risk of mortality and acute myocardial infarction among younger individuals, but an attenuation, and even reversal of the risk association with increasing age.Conclusion: Our findings support the current dietary guidelines emphasizing a restricted meat intake in cardiovascular disease patients but highlights the need for further research on the association between meat intake and health outcomes in elderly populations. Future studies should investigate different types of meat separately in other CVD-cohorts, in different age-groups, as well as in the general population.
