Factor Affecting Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a growing medical and public health concern and is the top cause of death in Bangladesh. Bangladeshis, like other South Asians, are predisposed to develop CAD, which typically begins prematurely, progresses swiftly, and is angiographically more severe. The underlying pathophysiology is unknown. Genetic predisposition, the high frequency of metabolic syndrome, and traditional risk factors all play a role. Poor dietary habits increased saturated and trans-fat, high salt consumption, and a lack of physical exercise are all possible risk factors. Some emerging risk factors, including hypovitaminosis D, arsenic poisoning in water and food, and particulate matter air pollution, may play an important role. We know very little about our actual circumstances at the turn of the millennium. Large-scale epidemiological, genetic, and clinical studies are required to investigate the many features of CAD in Bangladesh. In this thesis paper, factors affecting coronary artery disease have been tried to figure out through a questionnaire survey method. The result showed that in Bangladesh most people affected by CAD live in the extremely polluted area with a percentage of 30%. The income level of CAD patient is moderate and around 66% lives in stress and depression. CAD patients that are round 76.67% have a high blood pressure rate. Besides, there are other aspects regarding CAD which has been elaborated in the report.
