Study of the Angiographic Profile of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Smokers Compared With Non Smokers

Background: To study the angiographic profile of ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME in smokers versus non smokers and to analyse with respect to baseline characteristics, Method: Patients with first episode of ACS (Unstable Angina with ECG changes, NSTEMI,STEMI) 2. Different types of ACS were diagnosed according to ECG criteria and Troponin T positivity . Smoking history in the form of -tobacco chewing / khaini / beedi / tambaku / cigars was included. Results: Acute myocardial infarction STEMI+NSTEMI) was the most common presentation in both smokers and non smokers But Acute STEMI ,as the initial presentation, was often encountered in smokers .Unstable angina was often encountered as initial presentation in Non smokers s. Single vessel disease was the most common CAG diagnosis in both groups. Triple vessel disease was equally encountered in both Conclusions: Acute coronary syndrome occurred seven years earlier in smokers 2.Smokers presented with more Acute infarctions and less Unstable angina 3.Single vessel disease was the most common CAG diagnosis in both smokers and non smokers.
