Key result
Non-rheumatic valvular heart disease was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of coronary artery disease compared to rheumatic valvular heart disease (44.44% vs 9.26%, p<0.001).

No
Absolute Event Rate: 44.44% vs 9.26%

Coronary artery disease and cardiovascular risk factors are significantly more prevalent in patients with non-rheumatic compared to rheumatic valvular heart disease undergoing valve surgery in North Eastern India.
May inform preoperative CAD evaluation by etiology; leaves open causal impact and generalizability beyond this cohort.
Introduction:Indian data about the prevalence ofCoronary artery disease(CAD) in patients with valvular heart disease are limited. Prevalence of CAD in valvular heart disease is unknown in North Eastern India AIM: To study the prevalence of Coronary artery disease in valvular heart disease and to compare the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factor and Coronary artery disease prevalence in rheumatic and non rheumaticvalvular heart disease Materials And Methods:We prospectively collected data of valvular heart disease above 35 years who were scheduled for valve surgery from December 2011 to November 2013.

Dutta et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Valvular heart disease (n=126). Non-rheumatic valvular heart disease vs. Rheumatic valvular heart disease was evaluated on Prevalence of significant coronary artery disease (p=<0.001). Non-rheumatic valvular heart disease was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of coronary artery disease compared to rheumatic valvular heart disease (44.44% vs 9.26%, p<0.001).
