Key result
Smoking (58%) and hypertension (43.5%) were the most common risk factors, and single vessel disease (40%) was the most frequent angiographic pattern among patients with coronary artery disease.
Why the study?
CAD is a leading cause of rising mortality in India, and identifying risk factors, clinical profiles, and angiographic patterns could help inform interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality.
Population
Patients with CAD who underwent coronary angiography in Kolkata
Design
Hospital-based observational prospective study

In a tertiary care center in Kolkata, smoking and hypertension were the most common risk factors for CAD, with single vessel disease being the most frequent angiographic pattern.
Mandal et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=510). Risk factors for coronary artery disease was evaluated on Prevalence of risk factors and angiographic patterns. Smoking (58%) and hypertension (43.5%) were the most common risk factors, and single vessel disease (40%) was the most frequent angiographic pattern among patients with coronary artery disease.
