ABSTRACT
A hospital based study of coronary artery disease (CAD) was carried out in Gujaratis, admitted to Dr Jivraj Mehta Smarak Health Foundation, Ahmedabad. Total 276 subjects were surveyed. CAD was diagnosed by ECG criteria. Prevalence of CAD in hospital admission was 29.6%. Highest incidence of CAD was seen in the age group of 51 to 60 years. Male/female ratio was 1.61. As a single risk factor hypertension was ranked first, next was obesity followed by hyperlipidaemia, diabetes, tobacco habits, and family history of CAD. Overall mortality of CAD was 3.99%, being 1.83% for angina pectoris (AP) and 5.39% for myocardial infarction (MI). Mortality rate was higher in subjects having 2 or more risk factors. Incidence of CAD in young (age < 40 years) was very low (1.09%).
