Shakya et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Acute coronary syndrome (n=419). Risk factors and clinical characteristics was evaluated on Angiographic profile and risk factor prevalence. Among 419 patients with acute coronary syndrome in Nepal, STEMI was the most common presentation (60.1%), smoking the most prevalent risk factor (57.5%), and single-vessel disease the most frequent angiographic finding (34.6%).
