Abstract

SARS-COV-2 virus affects the cardiovascular system by various pathophysiological mechanisms. The incidence of Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) seems to be on rise in the peri-covid era. The proinflammatory and prothrombotic milieu is primarily responsible. Traditional atherosclerotic risk factors do not seem to be responsible for this increased incidence of ACS. We chose to test this hypothesis on young Indian population lacking the traditional atherosclerotic risk factors. If established, Covid 19 infection will at least be considered a risk modifier in causing ACS in future. Subsequently, we went on to study the differences in presentation, diagnostic implications, revascularization and management strategies and finally outcomes in ACS patients in the Peri-covid compared to the pre-covid era. To the best of our knowledge, this seems to be the first of its kind study from eastern India.

2019冠状病毒病大流行对东印度年轻急性冠状动脉综合征患者的影响

SARS-COV-2病毒通过多种病理生理机制影响心血管系统。急性冠状动脉综合征（ACS）的发病率似乎在新冠肺炎前后呈上升趋势。促炎和血栓形成的环境是主要原因。传统的动脉粥样硬化危险因素似乎并不是ACS发病率增加的原因。我们选择在缺乏传统动脉粥样硬化危险因素的年轻印度人群中检验这一假设。如果确定，Covid - 19感染将至少被认为是未来导致ACS的风险调节剂。随后，我们继续研究ACS患者在围冠期与前冠期的表现、诊断意义、血运重建和管理策略以及最终结果的差异。据我们所知，这似乎是第一次在印度东部进行此类研究。

期刊介绍： Indian Heart Journal (IHJ) is the official peer-reviewed open access journal of Cardiological Society of India and accepts articles for publication from across the globe. The journal aims to promote high quality research and serve as a platform for dissemination of scientific information in cardiology with particular focus on South Asia. The journal aims to publish cutting edge research in the field of clinical as well as non-clinical cardiology - including cardiovascular medicine and surgery. Some of the topics covered are Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Valvular Heart Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension and Infective Endocarditis. IHJ open access invites original research articles, research briefs, perspective, case reports, case vignette, cardiovascular images, cardiovascular graphics, research letters, correspondence, reader forum, and interesting photographs, for publication. IHJ open access also publishes theme-based special issues and abstracts of papers presented at the annual conference of the Cardiological Society of India.
