In 120 Sample Size, Male Patients are Suffering More with Complications Compared to Female Patients.
Conclusion: In this Study with Assessing the Prescribing Pattern in Geriatrics with Cardio Vascular Diseases It was found that major complications seen in Male and Female Patients are Ischemic heart Disease with Left ventricular dysfunction Myocardial Infarction, Coronary Artery Disease, Angina, Congestive Cardiac Failure.
