Abstract
Background and Objectives: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is one of the major causes for mortality and morbidity among the cardiovascular diseases in India. In this study the modifiable risk factors leading to ACS are considered and its prevalence in a Tertiary care hospital is studied.
 Materials and Methods: This is a prospective type of study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 100 patients diagnosed with ACS were taken in this study. Their data was taken, and results were formulated in excel data sheet.
 Results: Among the UA patients, 65% were found to be dyslipidaemic, 60% as obese, 45% as diabetics, 47.5% as hypertensive and 40% as smokers. Among the NSTEMI patients, 66.67% were found to be dyslipidaemic, 52.78% as hypertensive, 44.44% as smokers, 30.56% as diabetics and 27.78% as obese. Among the STEMI patients, 37.50% were found to be dyslipidemic, 25% as both diabetic and obese, 20.83% as hypertensive,12.5% as smokers.
 Hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking and obesity showed significance.
 Conclusion: The prevalence of modifiable risk factors is a major concern for developing ACS and when they are modified there will be a great reduction in the incidence of ACS.
Highlights
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the largest cause of mortality, accounting for around half of all deaths resulting from Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) [1]
A total of 100 patients diagnosed Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) between January 2021 to April 2021 was taken in this study.The data included diagnosis, age,gender, height,weight, systolic BP, diastolic BP, fasting plasma glucose, post prandial plasma glucose, total cholesterol, HDL, smoking habit, physical inactivity as they were the parameters which would indicate the presence of modifiable risk factors
In Unstable Angina (UA) patients, 19(47.5%) were found to be hypertensive and it consisted of 56.6% male and 20% female patients. 18(45%) were found to be diabetic and it consisted of 53.3% male and 20% female patients. 26(65%) were found to be dyslipidemic and it consisted of 60% male and 40% female patients. 16(40%) were smokers and it consisted of 50% male and 10% female patients. 24(60%) were obese and it consisted of 73.3% male and 20% female patients
Summary
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the largest cause of mortality, accounting for around half of all deaths resulting from Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) [1]. Among the NCDs, Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is important global causes of death and the major cause of morbidity and mortality in India [3]. Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is one of the major causes for mortality and morbidity among the cardiovascular diseases in India. Results: Among the UA patients, 65% were found to be dyslipidaemic, 60% as obese, 45% as diabetics, 47.5% as hypertensive and 40% as smokers. Among the NSTEMI patients, 66.67% were found to be dyslipidaemic, 52.78% as hypertensive, 44.44% as smokers, 30.56% as diabetics and 27.78% as obese. Among the STEMI patients, 37.50% were found to be dyslipidemic, 25% as both diabetic and obese, 20.83% as hypertensive,12.5% as smokers.
