Missed Diagnoses

The pathophysiology of accelerated atherosclerosis in people living with Human Immunofediciency virus (HIV) is complex. Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become an important cause of mortality in these patients. They often have atypical symptoms, leading to frequently missed diagnoses. We report a case of a 51-year-old male undergoing antiretroviral therapy who was admitted for acute coronary syndrome. He had severe coronary artery disease that involved difficult management.

Background: Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and disturbed glucose metabolism associated with central obesity are often referred to as Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and patients of MetS have a two- to three-fold increased risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: Objectives were to determine the frequency of MetS in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes and to compare the frequencies of severe coronary artery disease in patients with and without MetS. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 200 patients with acute coronary syndromes over a period of six months. Frequency of MetS was calculated. The frequencies of severe coronary artery disease were compared between patients having MetS and not having MetS using chi-square chart. Results: Total 200 patients with the mean age of 54.24 ± 9.41 years were included. 131 (65.5%) patients with acute coronary syndrome had MetS. Total 112 patients (56%) had severe coronary artery disease. 63.35% with MetS and 42.03% without MetS had severe coronary artery disease (p=0.003). Conclusion: The frequency of metabolic syndrome was high (65.5%) in patients with acute coronary syndromes and severe coronary artery disease was found to be associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome in these patients.
