Key result
Male sex and chest pain each characterize 70% of patients presenting with CAD.
Why the study?
Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, requiring exploration of demographic and clinical factors that influence disease occurrence, progression, and management.
Observational (n=87)
No
In a Bangladeshi cohort of CAD patients, the disease predominantly affected middle-aged males, with chest pain being the most common symptom and single-vessel disease the most common angiographic abnormality.

CAD patient profiles may inform risk hypotheses; leaves open whether factors predict outcomes without confirmatory trials.
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Analyzing the profile of CAD patients involves exploring various demographic and clinical factors that may influence the occurrence, progression, and management of the disease. This study aimed to analyze the profile of patients with coronary artery disease, focusing on demographic and clinical characteristics. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, 250 Bed General Hospital in Meherpur, Bangladesh, from June 2021 to July 2022. A total of 87 coronary artery disease patients were enrolled in this study as the study subjects. MS Office tools were applied for data analysis. Results: The mean age of the participants was 46.83 ±14.31 years; males were 70%. Approximately one-third of them had a BMI (Kg/m2) of ≥30. The most common symptom was chest pain, present in 70% and the most common complication was mitral regurgitation, affecting 26% of individuals. The predominant risk factors were diabetes mellitus (21%) and hypertension (18%). Angiographic findings revealed normal findings in 37% of patients. Single-vessel disease (SVD) was observed in 28% of cases, while double-vessel disease (DVD) and triple-vessel disease (TVD) were found in 20% and 14% of patients, respectively. Conclusion: Middle-aged male individuals are mainly prone to coronary artery diseases (CAD). For CAD patients, chest pain is the most common symptom, diabetes mellitus and hypertension are predominant risk factors and mitral regurgitation is the most prevalent complication.

Rashid et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=87). Acute coronary syndrome was evaluated on Demographic, clinical, and angiographic profile. Among 87 patients with coronary artery disease, 70% were male, chest pain was the most common symptom (70%), and single-vessel disease was the most frequent angiographic finding (28%).
