The patients with coronary artery disease are susceptible to experience the relapse so that the control towards the risk factors of coronary artery disease is needed such as a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, suffering from diabetes mellitus, medication adherence, and history of obesity. This study aimed at knowing the relationship between the risk factor of diabetes mellitus and the relapse of coronary artery disease. This study was an analytical observation by using retrospective cohort. The total respondent was 189 people taken by using purposive sampling technique. The finding showed that nearly all patients (82.5%) did not suffer from diabetes mellitus, and most of them (72.5%) experienced the relapse of CAD. The result of the chi-square analysis showed that the p-value of 0.009 < α = 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and the relapse of coronary artery disease. The patient with diabetes mellitus has a higher risk of experiencing the relapse of CAD. The nurse should concern and control the risk factors of coronary artery disease that affects the relapse.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Analyzing the association between ABI and the main risk factors for coronary artery disease in coronary patients. METHODS Were selected 156 adult patients from a hospital in Maceió, Alagoas. Were evaluated with risk factors age, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and dyslipidemia. PAOD screening was performed by the ankle-brachial index (ABI). The Mann-Whitney, chi-square, and Fisher’s exact tests were used. Confidence Interval of 95% and a significance of 5%. RESULTS 67.3% (n=105) males, 52.6% (n=82) elderly, 23.1% (n = 34) obese, 72.4% 6% (n=113) hypertensive, 34.6% (n=54) diabetics, 53.2% (n=83) smokers, 34.6% (n=54) dyslipidemic and 70.5% (n=110) with a family history of CAD. 16.7% (n=26) of the individuals presented PAOD. Three factors were associated with PAOD: age group ≥ 60 years (OR:3.656; p=0.005), diabetes mellitus (OR:2.625; p=0.024) and hypertension (OR:5.528; p=0.008). No significant difference was observed in the variables smoking, dyslipidemia, family history of CAD, and obesity. CONCLUSION The independent risk factors for PAOD were age, diabetes mellitus, and systemic arterial hypertension.

Background: Coronary artery ectatic usually have relation with hyperlipidemia, systemic hypertension and male gender and its diagnosis done by angiography. Due to lack of proved risk factors for incidence of coronary artery ectatic lesions and also its important. The aim of this study was to compare the risk factors of coronary artery in patients with ectatic and stenotic lesions. Methods: This is a descriptive and analytical study that has been done on 300 patients hospitalized in Ardabil city hospital. Patients were enrolled according to the criteria and undergone to angiography. According to result of angiography, patients who have ectatic lesions as the first group and patients whose lesions were stenotic were named as the second group. Information obtained from patients entered in the checklist and analyzed by statistical methods in SPSS.16. Results: 22% of patients with ectatic lesions and 78% with stenotic lesions in patients with ectatic lesions. The mean age was 58.7 years and 74.2% were male and in patients with lesions stenotic the mean age was 60.7 years and 54.3% were male. Based on angiography results, in patients with ectatic lesions 42.4% have engaged in a carotid and 44.4% were two clashes coronary arteries in group stenotic. 34.7% of patients have history of previous mi, 32.9% history of coronary artery disease, 54.7% history of smoking, 56% had diabetes mellitus and 56% had hypertension. History of previous MI (p=0.028), smoking (p=0.04) and diabetes mellitus (p=0.001) and history of coronary artery disease are effective risk factors in two groups. Conclusions: The results showed that previous history of myocardial infarction, smoking and DM have significant relation with type of lesions.

Background: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of CVD health loss globally, as well as in each world region, followed by stroke.  In Nepal, CVD was found to be the second most common non-communicable disease among indoor patients of the non-specialist hospital. Age, gender, smoking, obesity, dyslipidemia, physical inactivity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus (DM) are established risk factors for CVD.  In Nepal, hypertension is found to be the most prevalent risk factor for CVD. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to assess risk factors for coronary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiograms in Nepal. This study also investigated the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and the nature of the involvement of coronary arteries. Materials and Methods: We examined in this cross-sectional study a total of 74 patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) at National Medical College between May 2020 and June 2021. Patients were grouped according to the number of major epicardial coronary arteries involved in SVD, DVD, and TVD. Patients were checked for risk factors like smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, family history of coronary artery disease, and obesity. Microsoft Office Excel and SPSS version 21.0 were used for data analysis. The study was approved by the ethical committee. Results: Among 74 participants 53 were male. The mean age was 59.65±10.74 years. Premature coronary artery disease was present in six patients. SVD was the commonest CAD type. Hypertension was the commonest risk factor followed by Diabetes mellitus. Hypertension, Diabetes mellitus, Family history of premature CAD, and obesity were found to be statistically significant.

Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) was the contraction of coronary arteries that was frequently began through the atherosclerosis which primes to restraint of blood flowing to cardiac muscles. Atherosclerosis was an accumulation of plaque or fats deposition upon the internal walls of arteries. Aim: To correlate coronary artery disease with risk factors on Computed Tomography Angiography. Duration and place of study: This study was conduct from 17-July-2019 to 13-Oct-2020 at Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore. Methods: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted at Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore. Data were collected according to the age, gender and risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia; high cholesterol level, contrast with volume, vessels involved and extent of vessels involvement.132 participants including 103 males (78%) and 29 females (22%) were selected through convenient sampling technique. Results: Data examination exhibited that out of 132 patients, 101 patients (76.5%) had CAD and 31 patients (23.5%) had no CAD. Out of 29 females, 21 female patients (20.8%) had CAD whereas out of 103 males, 80 male patients (79.2%) had coronary artery disease. According to our study, as correlated the coronary artery disease with various risk factors on computed tomography angiography. The patient had one or more than one risk factors; out of 132 patients, 72 patients (54.5%) had diabetes mellitus, 102 patients (77.3%) had hypertension, 55 patients (41.7%) had hyperlipidemia, 56 patients (42.4%) familial hypercholesterolemia, and 30(22.7%) were smokers. Conclusions: We concluded from our study that patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) were more prone to develope coronary artery disease CAD. Males were more at risk (79.2%) than females (20.8%) for CAD. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were stronger predictors of CAD than smoking, hyperlipidemia and familial hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract Objectives We aimed to investigate the association between hypertension and asymptomatic lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) in outpatients with known history of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Patients with known history of CAD who have been undergone coronary angiography and have significant coronary artery stenosis (more than 60%) were included. LEAD was defined as ankle-brachial index (ABI) < 0.9 in either leg. The risk of LEAD in hypertensive group was analyzed using chi-square test, and correlation between blood pressure (BP) and ABI was analyzed using Pearson correlation test in SPSS v.25. Results One hundred and four patients were included. 82.7% of patients were male. Mean age was 57.05 ± 7.97. The prevalence of hypertension was 35.6%, and the prevalence of LEAD was 16.3%. A higher proportion of LEAD was found in hypertensive (18.9%) compared to non-hypertensive (14.9%), although not statistically significant (OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 0.46 to 3.85; p=0.598). There was an association between ABI and systolic BP (p=0.016), but not with diastolic BP (p=0.102). Conclusions Our study showed that the prevalence of LEAD in hypertension, especially in the CAD population, is relatively high. There was no association between hypertension and LEAD, but a higher prevalence of LEAD was found in hypertensive patients. Nevertheless, LEAD screening is still recommended in hypertensive patients, especially in the CAD population, given the fact that outcomes of health and mortality are worse for those with concomitants of these diseases.

Abstract. Despite the high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), few studies have identified clinical correlates using national data. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and clinical associations of CAD in a national random sample of new ESRD in the United States in 1996/1997 (n = 4025). Data on demographic characteristics and comorbidities were obtained from the Dialysis Morbidity and Mortality Study, Wave 2. The principal outcome was CAD, defined as the presence of a previous history of CAD, myocardial infarction, or angina, coronary artery bypass surgery, coronary angioplasty, or abnormal coronary angiographic findings. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship of conventional factors and proposed uremic factors to the presence of CAD. CAD was present in 38% of patients. Of the total cohort, 17% had a history of myocardial infarction and 23% had angina. Several conventional risk factors, including advancing age, male gender, diabetes mellitus, and smoking, were significantly associated with CAD. Of the proposed uremic factors, lower serum albumin levels but higher residual renal function and higher hematocrit values were significantly associated with the presence of CAD. Vascular comorbid conditions, structural cardiac abnormalities, white race, and geographic location were also strongly correlated with the presence of CAD. This national study suggests that several conventional CAD risk factors may also be risk factors for CAD among the ESRD population. This study identifies nonconventional factors such as serum albumin levels, vascular comorbid conditions, and structural cardiac abnormalities as important disease correlates. Future logitudinal studies are required to explore the relative importance of the relationships observed here.

This study aims to study the efficiency of the Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) for determining coronary artery disease. It compares the frequency of abnormal WHtR, as a proxy for abdominal obesity, to that of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). It also relates the findings to other cardiometabolic risk factors in University Hospital patients. A cross-sectional study design was used, where a sample of 200 patients (142 males and 58 females) who attended the adult cardiac clinic were purposively included. BMI, WC, and WHtR were measured, where frequencies of WHtR were compared to those of BMI and WC. The findings were related to the history of coronary artery disease (CAD) and history of cardiometabolic risk factors, including diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), and hyperlipidemia. Majority of the male patients were older, taller, and had a lower BMI value. It also showed that the prevalence of dyslipidemia and CAD was higher in male patients. No significant difference between both genders was noticed for weight, WC, WHtR, hypertension, or DM. BMI was least associated with high-risk cardiac population in both males and females (39.4% and 60.3%), followed by WC (84.5% and 96.6%, respectively). WHtR showed the highest association with gender (male 98.6% and females 98.3%). These findings were noticed in patients with all risk factors. WHtR is superior to BMI and WC for determining the elevated risk of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and CAD in a single university institute. The role of WHtR in both normal and diseased Saudi population should be delineated.
