Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and specially coronary artery
diseases (CAD) are of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in the
world. Preventing the risk factors of these disorders not only may reduce their
incidence in the population, but also increases the efficacy and improves the
prognosis of expensive therapies that are being used for cardiovascular patients.
Most of the patients suffering from advanced coronary artery disease may
need coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Therefore identification of
risk factors of atherosclerosis and CAD is of the most valuable steps toward
finding proper therapeutic options.
Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive
retrospective study. Medical records of patients who underwent CABG were
reviewed. Records gathered from Vil-e-Asr (A) hospital medical archive
department. Demographic data, lab results, physical examinations and risk
factors related to CAD have been extracted from the records.
Results: Total of 120 patients have been studied, 119 were male and 1
female. Ninety two (76.7%) have had no history of cigarette smoking and 28
(23.3%) were smoking. 27.5% of patients have had past medical history of
diabetes mellitus which 95% of them were taking oral agents. In biochemical
assessments, 20% of patients have had high levels of fasting blood sugar and
33.3% were having impaired fasting glucose. 18.3% of patients have had
history of dyslipidemia. 30.8% of patients were overweight (BMI = 24.7
– 26.9) and 35% were in grade 1 obesity (BMI = 27-29.9) and 15.8% were
suffering from morbid obesity (BMI>30). 38.3% of patients have had history
of high blood pressure.
Conclusion: Results of this study shows that interaction and effect mechanism
of risk factors of CVDs and effect of other factors like behavioral, genetic and
biomedical on them makes a complex field of interactivity between factors
that shows the necessity of more studies.
