Abstract
This is a longitudinal observational study conducted in the Department of Emergency Medicine. In the present study, 62 (62.0%) patients were male and 38 (38.0%) were female. The Mean ± SD age of the patients in our study was 58.6 ± 12.2 years (range: 32 to 83 years), and the Median (IQR) age was 57 years (49–67 years). The most common comorbidity was hypertension. Smoking, tobacco chewing, and alcohol history were present in 36 (36.0%), 14 (14.0%), and 11(11.0%) patients, respectively.
Coronary angioplasty and thrombolysis were done in 74 (74.0%) and 26 (26.0%) patients, respectively. Double vessels were the most common findings on coronary angioplasty – 41 (41.0%) followed by single vessels – 23 (23.0%) and triple vessels – 10 (10.0%). Most common Thrombolysis was done using Streptokinase in 15 (15.0%) patients followed by Reteplase – 9(9.0%) and Alteplase – 2(2.0%). Out of 100 patients, 4 patients died and all had EF < 35%. In the present study survival rate of the patient was 96%.
