Introduction: India has undergone a remarkable demographic transition over the period time. Socioeconomic status indicators including education, income, and occupation are associated with coronary heart disease risk factors, morbidity, and mortality. Objective: To assess the socioeconomic status and diet restriction in patients with coronary artery diseases. Methods: The present study was a type of observational study conducted on total 200 subjects in Dhiraj Hospital, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth from August-2019 to July-2020 after ethical approval. Out of which 100 were coronary artery diseases and 100 were healthy controls. Patients with other than coronary artery diseases were excluded from the study, data were collected with the help of a pre-validated questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS-16 software. Results: Eighty-nine subjects with coronary artery diseases and seventy-five healthy controls were physically inactive. Eighty-five subjects with coronary artery diseases do not have any diet restriction, however, fifty-nine subjects had exposure to only primary education. Conclusion: Majority of the subjects were from a rural area, there were high illiteracy levels so there was low awareness. Patients could come to know the importance of physical activities and how to maintain a normal weight by following a dietary regimen to minimize the risks of disease.
Background: Acute myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality across the world. Serum Potassium and creatinine levels changes in cardiac chest pain and non-cardiac chest pain but have not been studied extensively and there is a paucity of information in the literature in this regard. Scanty information is available in the literature about the prognostic value of serum Potassium and Creatinine in Chest pain. Hence this study was undertaken to estimate the concentrations of serum potassium and creatinine in AMI patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 patients were enrolled from the Cardiac OPD of Dhiraj Hospital. 100 were cases and 100 were controls. The levels of creatinine were measured by EM-200 at Dhiraj Hospital and levels of Potassium were measured at Nulyte analyzer. Results: The mean levels of potassium and creatinine were high in cases (4.27 ± 0.56 and 0.99 ± 0.53) in comparison with respective control (4.30 ± 0.92 and 0.87 ± 0.23) and there was a significant difference between levels of potassium and serum creatinine (P<0.001). Conclusion: The levels of potassium could be useful for prediction of mortality of myocardial infarction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
