Key result
Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor affecting ~63% of rural Indian CABG patients.
Cross-Sectional (n=206)
No
In a rural Indian population presenting for CABG, hypertension and male sex are the most prevalent modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for CAD, respectively.
Describes hypertension predominance in rural Indian CABG patients; leaves open generalizability and practice implications.
Objectives: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide.The aim of study was to identify the pattern of prevalence of risk factors in CAD patients presenting for surgical revascularization by coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in rural setup in India.Methods: Eleven risk factor in 206 patients coming for CABG in cardiothoracic departments of Jawaharlal Nehru medical college (JNMC), Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, Maharashtra were analyzed in preanaesthetic checkup.Results: Hypertension was most common modifiable risk factor for CAD coming for CABG.Prevalence of it was 62.62 % (129/206).whilemale sex (77.18%) was most common non modifiable risk factor for CAD coming for CABG.Prevalence of it was 77.18 % (159/206).Prevalence of other risk factors were as dyslipidaemia 40.29 % (83/206), diabetes 20.87% (43/206), advanced age 52.42 % (108 /206), smoking 20.38% (42/206), obesity 16.99% (36/206), family history 29.61%.(57/206), Sedentariness 19.90 % (41/206), alcohol 9.70 % (20/206) and diet 22.87 % (47/206).Conclusions: In this study, Hypertension is most common risk factor for CAD coming for CABG.The most common combination of factors seen together was diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and male gender.

Hiwarkar et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (CAD) presenting for CABG (n=206). Cardiovascular risk factors was evaluated on Prevalence of hypertension. Among patients presenting for CABG in rural India, hypertension was the most common modifiable risk factor (62.62%) and male sex the most common non-modifiable risk factor (77.18%).
