Study of Risk Factors, Clinical Profiles and Angiographic Patterns in Patients of Coronary Artery Disease in a Tertiary Care Centre in Chhattisgarh

Deaths due to Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) accounted for 30.8% of all deaths, i.e. 18.1 million deaths by 2010 and estimated to be 32.5% of all deaths, i.e. 24.2 million deaths by 2030 globally. In 2000, there were an estimated 29.8 million people with cardiovascular disease in India out of a total estimated population of 1.03 billion or a nearly 3% overall prevalence. It is estimated that there were approximately 46.9 million people with cardiovascular disease in India during 2010, of which 2.33 million people succumbed. Considering the increasing burden of atherosclerotic disease and its mortality and also the usefulness of finding risk factors, studying the clinical profile and angiographic pattern will help us to fight the progression of the disease by intervening at various levels which can decrease the morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease.
