<p><strong>BACKGROUND: </strong>Coronary artery diseases (CAD) are one of the important health problems in the world, although considerable progresses have been made to decrease the mortality, they are still the first cause of death in many countries. Hence, the necessity of examining effective factors and risk factors on CAD can be one of the most important health priorities in many countries like Iran.</p> <p><strong>OBJECTIVE: </strong>This study was performed to assess the risk factors in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) in Zahedan.</p> <p><strong>MATERIALS &amp; METHODS: </strong>This is a cross sectional study in which 213 patients were examined. They had been diagnosed to have heart failure. Data gathering took 18 months. Data gathering tool was a designed checklist which was filled up by an experienced nurse during interview. Obtained results were recorded in files and analyzed in SPSS 21.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>Results showed that 70% of patients were women and only 30% were men. 48% of them were illiterate and patients mean age was 58.3. SD had been 12.6. The mean of pain onset time till referring to hospital was 11 hours with SD of 2.1. 17% of patients (coronary artery diseases history), 25.5% (hypertension history), 26% (diabetes history), 15.5% (cholesterol history), 13% (smoking) and 3% have reported CABG history. The majority of people who referred had inferior MI (40.4%). 67.1% normal rhythm, 2.8% atrial fibrillation and 16% had ventricular tachycardia. Statistical tests showed a significant correlation between sex and the mean of referring time (p&lt;0.05) but the relation between age and referring time was not significant.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong>Effective risk factors on MI were recognized in this study. Some of them such as age, sex and education cannot be modified but many are controllable such as hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, and smoking and on time referring after pain onset. Having considered the results of this study health promotion for society and especially vulnerable people can be provided by omitting or reducing risk factors.</p>

Objectives: To determine the pattern of coronary artery diseases (CAD) in patients under 40 years of age with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presenting at Hyderabad Satellite Center of National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD), Pakistan. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at cardiology department of the NICVD, Hyderabad Satellite Center. Both male and female patients, between 18 to 40 years of age, diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and undergone coronary angiography were included in this study. Angiographic patterns in terms of extent of the disease (number of diseased vessels and localization of lesion) were assessed. Results: Total of 220 young patients included. Patients were predominantly male (91.8%) with the mean age of 35.3 ± 5 years. Smoking was observed 30.5% followed by hypertension (24.5%) and positive family history of CAD (19.1%). A majority of the patients (79.1%) were diagnosed as with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) as the most common (57.3%) type of MI. Most of the patients (70%) had single vessel diseases (SVD) with left anterior descending artery (LAD) as the most commonly diseases vessel (53.6%). Nine (4.1%) patients had significant left main disease and 6.4% had non-obstructive CAD. Conclusion: The common clinical presentation of ACS in younger patients is STEMI. Smoking is the commonest risk factor followed by hypertension and family history of CAD. More than 2/3rd of the young patients are expected to have single vessel diseases with LAD as the most commonly diseased vessel.

Background: The expression and clinical significance of IL-20 in coronary artery diseases need to be analyzed. Methods: IL-20 and its receptors were analyzed in coronary artery tissues. In a separate study, plasma IL-20 was also evaluated. Results: IL-20 and its receptors were significantly higher in coronary artery stenosis tissues from ischemic cardiomyopathy patients than that from controls. T lymphocytes and macrophages were the main source of IL-20 and expressed its receptors abundantly. Plasma IL-20 was significantly higher in acute myocardial infarction patients than that in controls. Conclusion: IL-20 was closely associated with the presence of acute myocardial infarction. IL-20 may participate in the progression of coronary artery stenosis and plaque vulnerability via regulating T lymphocytes and macrophages.

Abstract The Sixth Conference on the “Standards of Laboratory Practice Series”, sponsored by the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry (NACB), was held on August 4–5, 1998, at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, in Chicago, IL. An expert committee was assembled to write recommendations on the use of cardiac markers in coronary artery diseases. The NACB Committee prepared a preliminary draft of the guidelines, made them available on the World Wide Web (www.nacb.org), and distributed them before the presentations. The recommendations were divided into four areas: the use of markers in the triage of patients with chest pain, acute coronary syndromes, clinical applications other than acute myocardial infarction and research, and assay platforms and markers of acute myocardial infarction. The recommendations were revised and subsequently re-presented in part at the “Biomarkers in Acute Cardiac Syndromes Conference”, sponsored by the Jewish Hospital Heart and Lung Institute, Louisville KY, on October 16–17, 1998. This report lists each recommendation, its scientific justification, and a summary of discussions from conference participants and reviewers. Approximately 100 individuals responded to various versions of these recommendations via direct correspondences, telephone calls to Committee members, electronic mail correspondence to the Committee Chairman, or oral questions and comments raised during one of the two conference presentations. Some of the recommendations were changed to reflect the consensus opinion. In cases in which there was no consensus, the Committee included pertinent discussion without necessarily changing the original recommendations. At times, the Committee members felt that although a particular recommendation might not be the current standard of care today, they anticipate that it likely will be adopted in the near future.

Prescribing Trends

Background: The aim of the study is to assess the proportion of types of coronary artery diseases and to analyze the trends of drug prescribing in coronary artery disease (CAD) by checking the compliance with the standard guidelines provided by the American College of Cardiology Foundation / American Heart Association (ACCF/AHA).Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in the department of Cardiology for a period of 6 months. A total of 94 patients with varied categories of CAD were screened and analyzed. Study related data was collected from case records and by a structured interview. Data analysis was done by analyzing the prescribing trends of drug and assessing the proportion of CAD.Results: The current study found that most of the patients were of the age group of 61-70 years. The proportion of Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was remarkably higher in patients with CAD (55.3%) followed by ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) (39.4%) and Unstable angina (5.3%). Chi square test shows that prescription of Antiplatelets were apparent in all the prescriptions (100%), followed by Statins (Atorvastatin 98.9%), Antihypertensives (94.7%), Anticoagulants (90.4%), Nitrates (76.6%), Antidiabetics (75.5%) and Potassium channel opener (Nicorandil 36.2%). By analyzing the prescription, it was observed that most of the drugs were prescribed rationally according to the standard treatment guidelines (ACCF/AHA).Conclusions: This study provides an overall insight of proportion of CAD and prescribing pattern in patients with CAD which reveals the rational prescribing of drugs in accordance with the standard guidelines.
