Abstract :
The principal cause of mortality of cardiovascular condition is prevalent in low and
middle-income nations. Study revealed that pooreconomic condition is a risk factor. Therefore, the
study done to detect the association of risk factors in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with Low
socioeconomic condition.
Methodology: Thiscross sectional study conducted in a Multi-disciplinary hospital of Bangladesh.
ACS patient were the target population. After written informed consent, a total 100 individuals were
included. Researcher with semi-structured questionnaire did data collection. And following
completion of data collection, it was analyzed by the SPSS 21.
Result: Out of total 100 ACS patients male-female ratio was 2.6:1 ( 72% vs 28%) with mean age
57.86±13.69 SD (years). Age range was 29-83 years. Highest frequency of ACS (34%) was found
between 55 to 64 years of age. About 43% of the patients belongs to 3000-4500 taka monthly followed
by 35% with income >4500 taka and 22% with <3000 taka per month. Risk factors among male were
hypertension (81.94%), dyslipidaemia (73.61%), smoking (72.22%) and family history of ACS
(37.5%). On contrary, among women, dyslipidaemia (78.57%), hypertension (46.43%), over-weight of
obesity (39.29%) constituted the principle risk factors. Of all, high blood pressure and tobacco
ingestion are significant in men than women (p-value < 0.05 in each). The most prevalent symptom
was chest pain among both male (84.72%) and female (75%). Next common symptoms were shortness
of breath (48.61% vs 50%) and diaphoresis (33.33% vs 28.57%). Total 11 patients (11%) were died
and there was no significant relationship between outcome and income.
Conclusion: Among the low socio-economic group,elevated blood pressure and active smoking are the
most important risk factors in ACS patients, which frequently presents with typical chest pain along
with radiation of pain in left as well as difficulty in breathing.
