“…In study done by Chahare et al (2015), hypertension was found in 75% of patients, smoking was found in 70%, while diabetes mellitus was found in 71%. So it is obvious that both diabetes mellitus and cigarette smoking as risks factors for ACS were less recognized in our study compared with previously mentioned study.…”

A b s t r a c t A r t i c l e I n f oIn the presence of increasing risk factors like hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity in our community, acute coronary syndrome appears to be a real health problem. This study aimed to determine the clinical profile and risk factors of acute coronary syndrome among patients admitted to Cardiac Care Unit at Elobied Teaching hospital. This is a hospital-based retrospective study done by reviewing records of 84 patients who were admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit with the clinical diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome from the period July 2014 to November 2015. The data were obtained through well-designed data sheet including age, gender, and residence. Clinical presentation, risk factors like hypertension diabetes and cigarette smoking. The data sheet also included ECG findings, complications and outcome of the patients. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 14. More than half of patients were above 60 years (65%). More than half of patients were males (56%). Chest pain was the predominant presenting complaint (98%). More than half of patients were hypertensive (57%) while one third were diabetic (33%). One third of patients were smokers. Troponin was positive in 63% of patients, ECG was abnormal in 68 % of patients and 61 % of the patients were referred for coronary angiography. This study showed that hypertension, diabetes mellitus and smoking are the major risk factors for acute coronary syndrome, early detection and management of hypertension and diabetes are indicated. Establishment of catheter laboratory in our setting should be given a priority.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death globally ( WHO, 2016 ). Aim: This study determined the most prevalent risk factors for developing a myocardial infarction in a cohort of adults younger than 45 years. Method: A retrospective study was carried out in a large Dublin university hospital. This cross-sectional quantitative study involved convenience sampling (n=92). Results: Abnormal fasting glucose on admission, smoking and obesity were the most prevalent risk factors. Males were more at risk than females. No single type of myocardial infarction was significantly more common than any other. Single vessel disease was the most prevalent angiographic finding. Chest pain was the most common presenting symptom and the majority of adults had three risk factors. Conclusion: Risk factors associated with a myocardial infarction in young adults are essentially modifiable. Prevention must be kept at the forefront of primary care, and prioritised and driven by health-care policy.
