BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main causes of death worldwide, including in the hajj pilgrims. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common CVDs in Indonesian hajj pilgrims hospitalized in Saudi Arabia. AIM: This study aimed to determine the determinants of the CHD incidence among Indonesian hajj pilgrims hospitalized in Saudi Arabia in 2019. METHODS: This study was an observational analytic study with a case–control design. The study was conducted in Makassar using data from the integrated Hajj computerized system in the health sector (siskohatkes) Hajj Health Center (Puskeshaji) in January–June 2021. Cases were pilgrims hospitalized in Saudi Arabia with a diagnosis of CHD, about 186 people, and controls were pilgrims hospitalized with diagnoses other than CVDs. Selection of controls by matching age and sex with a ratio of 1:1. The determinants analyzed included education, high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, excess body mass index (BMI), and smoking. Data analysis was using the STATA program with an odds ratio (OR) test and multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: The most respondents were 65 years (48.39%), female respondents, about 61.83%. Most respondents’ education was in elementary school, about 31.99%. Multivariate analysis showed that high blood pressure (OR = 2.32, 95% confidence index [CI] = 1.50–3.57), high blood sugar levels (RO = 1.90, 95% CI = 1.06–3.40), high LDL cholesterol levels (RO = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.15–2.88), and excess BMI (RO = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.07–2.68) were risk factors for the CHD incidence. However, education and smoking were not risk factors for CHD. CONCLUSION: By multiple logistic regression analyzes, the study revealed that the probability of CHD when having those four risk factors was 85.69%.

Abstract Background: The prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) is increasing worldwide. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of CHD and related risk factors in the population of Shahedieh cohort in Yazd, central Iran.Method: This cross-sectional analytical study was performed on the data of the first phase of the Yazd Shahedieh cohort study, which started in 2016 and included about 10,000 people from the urban population of 35-70 years old in Yazd Shahedieh – Yazd, Iran. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the variables and Chi-square test and multiple binary logistic regression models were used for analysis by reporting the modified odds ratio. All analyzes were performed in SPSS 19 software with a significance level of 5%. Results: The prevalence of the CHD was 8.08% (769 patients). The results of multiple binary logistic regression identified aging, low level of education, smoking, female gender, abnormal LDL, family history, diabetes and blood pressure as risk factors for CHD. The odds of getting CHD over the age of 60 was about 6 times than those aged 30-40, in the illiterate people it was about two times than the university. Smoking, family history, hypertension and diabetes increased the odds of getting CHD by 1.67, 1.59, 3.48 and 1.64. Smoking, family history, hypertension and diabetes increased the odds of getting CHD by 1.67, 1.59, 3.48 and 1.64, times than others, respectively.Conclusion: The prevalence of the disease in Iran was relatively high. According to the effect size, the most important risk factors for the disease were age over sixty years and blood pressure.

Coronary heart disease is a disease caused by narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart. This happens because of its high cholesterol levels can cause atherosclerosis in blood vessels Hypercholesterolemia mainly occurs when increased production of LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein). As a result of the narrowing of blood vessels blood flow to the heart will be disrupted, causing symptoms of chest pain that is a typical symptom of coronary heart disease. Chronic atherosclerosis can cause blood flow to the heart to be disturbed, so that the left ventricle must pump stronger to produce enough force to push blood through the atherosclerotic vascular system that can lead to increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure resulting in hypertension. This study included descriptive analytic research using cross sectional approach, is dependent variable (incidence of coronary heart disease) and indenpendent variable (blood pressure and LDL cholesterol level) collected at the same time. The study was conducted on September 10, 2016 - April 4, 2017 at the Central Laboratory and Heart Ward RSUP.Dr. M. Djamil Padang. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, that is the technique of determining the sample with certain consideration. Of 36 samples of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) showed a correlation between systolic blood pressure with LDL cholesterol level has a value of 0.585> 0.05 which states there is a moderate relationship between the two variables, and has significant significance of 0.00 <0, 05 and Ha are received. The correlation between diastolic blood pressure and LDL levels has a value of 0,507> 0,05 which states there is a moderate relationship between the two variables, and has significant value of 0.02 significance <0.05 and Ha is accepted. Based on these results then there is a significant relationship between blood pressure with LDL cholesterol levels in the blood.

PEDIATRIC GENESIS OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS Atherosclerosis results from a variety of pathophysiologic disturbances, some currently recognized, and many undoubtedly not yet recognized, which in aggregate are identified as risk factors. Genetic and environmental influences conjointly affect the incidence and the severity of these risk factors and, thus, coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Prophylaxis should be designed to prevent or retard the development of arterial plaques. This suggests that diagnostic and preventive efforts should begin in childhood. Eating habits are also probably established in childhood, allowing their early modification. The atherosclerotic plaque appears to have its genesis in childhood. The data from wartime autopsies confirm the presence of mature atherosclerotic lesions by the end of the second decade and emphasize the importance of primary atherosclerosis prevention beginning in the first and second decades. While there are clearly genetic factors in CHD, variation in rates in differing geographic areas appears less likely to be related to genetic than to environmental differences. Marked differences in plasma cholesterol levels are found in children in different geographic areas, generally paralleling pediatric cholesterol and saturated fat intake and the incidence of adult coronary heart disease. The relationships of elevated total plasma cholesterol levels to the incidence of coronary heart disease are clearly established in adults.

Background: Prior studies of metabolomic profiles and coronary heart disease (CHD) have been limited by relatively small case numbers and scant data in women. Methods: The discovery set examined 371 metabolites in 400 confirmed, incident CHD cases and 400 controls (frequency matched on age, race/ethnicity, hysterectomy status and time of enrollment) in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI-OS). All selected metabolites were validated in a separate set of 394 cases and 397 matched controls drawn from the placebo arms of the WHI Hormone Therapy trials and the WHI-OS. Discovery used 4 methods: false-discovery rate (FDR) adjusted logistic regression for individual metabolites, permutation corrected least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithms, sparse partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) algorithms, and random forest algorithms. Each method was performed with matching factors only and with matching plus both medication use (aspirin, statins, anti-diabetics and anti-hypertensives) and traditional CHD risk factors (smoking, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, total and HDL cholesterol). Replication in the validation set was defined as a logistic regression coefficient of p<0.05 for the metabolites selected by 3 or 4 methods (tier 1), or a FDR adjusted p<0.05 for metabolites selected by only 1 or 2 methods (tier 2). Results: Sixty-seven metabolites were selected in the discovery data set (30 tier 1 and 37 tier 2). Twenty-six successfully replicated in the validation data set (21 tier 1 and 5 tier 2), with 25 significant with adjusting for matching factors only and 11 significant after additionally adjusting for medications and CHD risk factors. Validated metabolites included amino acids, sugars, nucleosides, eicosanoids, plasmologens, polyunsaturated phospholipids and highly saturated triglycerides. These include novel metabolites as well as metabolites such as glutamate/glutamine, which have been shown in other populations. Conclusions: Multiple metabolites in important physiological pathways with robust associations for risk of CHD in women were identified and replicated. These results may offer insights into biological mechanisms of CHD as well as identify potential markers of risk.

Background: Cardiovascular risk factors are the most inimical and deleterious elements to develop coronary heart disease (CHD). To identify the factors contributing to develop CHD is therefore of paramount importance. It needs endless attention to address the riddle. This effort is to candle the light on sociodemographic & other factors of CHD. Methods & Materials: This cross-sectional study was conducted in CMH Dhaka from September to December 2011 on 287 respondents. Data were collected by interview using semi-structured questionnaire. Data were checked, edited, coded, categorized, cleaned and analyzed using (SPSS version 20). Results: The study disclosed that respondent's mean age was 39.40+9.42 years, 67.2% were male and 32.8% were female. It was founded that 34.14% were smoker. The prevalence rate of HTN and DM were 14.3% and 4.5% respectably. The mean BMI was 24.55 with 58.5% had normal weight and 41.5% were overweight, 18.8% had positive family history of suffering from CHD. among the respondents 88.5% has got at least one risk factor, 60% has got 5-10 risk factors, 13.6% got 6-10 risk factors, 14.3% got>10 risk factors. Age was significantly associated with smoking (p<.049), educational status (p<.001) and blood pressure (p<.001). Physical exercise was associated with BMI (p<.001) and blood pressure (p<.001). Risk factors had highly significant association with age (p<.001). Conclusion: All these findings suggest that a substantial evidence of risk factors of coronary heart diseases were prevailing among the study population. Proper care through positive motivation, avoidance of risk behaviour, intervention of clinical conditions can resist risk factors of coronary heart disease thus coronary heart disease can be prevented.

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between aerobic fitness (AF), fatness, and coronary-heart-disease (CHD) risk factors in 12- to 13-year-olds. The data were obtained from 208 schoolchildren (100 boys; 108 girls) ages 12.9 ± 0.3 years. Measurements included AF, indices of obesity, blood pressure, blood lipids and lipoproteins, fibrinogen, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein. An inverse relationship was found between AF and fatness (p < .05). Fatness was related to a greater number of CHD risk factors than fitness was (p < .05). Further analysis revealed fatness to be an independent predictor of triglyceride and blood-pressure levels (p < .05). Our findings indicate that, for young people, fatness rather than fitness is independently related to CHD risk factors.

Background. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common critical disease with a certain fatality rate. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), another critical ill condition, is a regular occurrence in the UGIB. We identified risk factors for ACS in UGIB. Methods. 676 patients diagnosed with UGIB were enrolled retrospectively. We assessed the occurrence of ACS in UGIB patients and identified the risk factors for ACS by logistic regression analysis and random forest analysis. Results. After propensity score matching (PSM), the ACS group ( n = 69 ) and non-ACS group ( n = 276 ) were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis showed that syncope ( P = 0.001 ), coronary heart disease history ( P = 0.001 ), Glasgow Blatchford score ( P ≤ 0.001 ), Rockall risk score ( P = 0.004 ), red blood cell distribution width (RDW) ( P ≤ 0.001 ), total bilirubin (TBil) ( P = 0.046 ), fibrinogen ( P ≤ 0.001 ), and hemoglobin ( P = 0.001 ) had important roles in ACS patients. With Mean Decrease Gini (MDG) sequencing, fibrinogen, RDW, and hemoglobin were ranked the top three risk factors associated with ACS. In ROC analysis, fibrinogen ( AUC = 0.841 , 95% CI: 0.779-0.903) and RDW ( AUC = 0.826 , 95% CI: 0.769-0.883) obtained good discrimination performance. According to sensitivity > 80 %, the pAUC of fibrinogen and RDW were 0.077 and 0.101, respectively, and there was no significant difference ( P = 0.326 ). However, according to specificity > 80 %, the pAUC of fibrinogen was higher than that of RDW (0.126 vs. 0.088, P = 0.018 ). Conclusion. Fibrinogen and RDW were important risk factors for ACS in UGIB. Additionally, combination with coronary heart disease, syncope, hemoglobin, and TBil played important roles in the occurrence of ACS. Meanwhile, it was also noted that Rockall score and Glasgow Blatchford score should be performed to predict the risk.

Introduction: Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is a type of low-density lipoprotein and the most widely transported cholesterol in the body. Increased levels of LDL in the body can be affected by genetics, age, gender, obesity, physical activity, lifestyle, drug consumption and smoking. Substances in a cigarette can cause an increase of LDL levels. Increased of LDL cholesterol levels can cause Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). The purpose of this research is to know the description of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels on smoker and non-smoker adolescent in Buyan Hamlet, Pancasari Village, Sukasada District, Buleleng Bali. Method: The type of this research is descriptive. This research was conducted in April-May 2017, which used fasting blood samples of 42 respondents. Result: From the average result of LDL level in smoker adolescent that is 134,91 mg/dL higher than the average of LDL level in non-smoker adolescent that is 74,90 mg/dL. The result of LDL cholesterol levels was determined by 21 smoker adolescent respondents with the close to optimal category (100-129 mg/dL) as many as 9 people (42,8%), and 12 people (57,3%) with worry category (130-159 mg/dL). Whereas in 21 non-smoker adolescent respondents obtained  result of LDL cholesterol level test with optimal category (<100 mg/dL) counted 18 people (87,71%) and 3 person (14,30%) with close to optimal category (100-129 mg/dL). Discussion: Based on the results of this research can be concluded that in smoker adolescent obtained LDL levels with close to optimal category and worrying whereas in non-smoker adolescents obtained LDL levels in the optimal category and close to optimal.
