Abstract

Coronary Heart Disease occurs when the blood supply to the heart is blocked or interrupted by a buildup of fatty substances in coronary arteries. After a certain time period, the walls of the arteries become piled up with fatty deposits, which makes the arteries narrow from inside and interrupt the flow of blood. The present study was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of risk factors in Coronary Heart Disease patients of Malwa region of Punjab. In the present study, the prevalence of smoking (in males) was 30.2 percent, alcohol intake (in males) was 41.5 percent, and additional risk factor such as obesity was 70.8 percent in males and 55.3 percent in females. Coronary risk factors were higher among the males as compared to the females. Smoking and alcohol intake could be the reason causing a higher risk for developing coronary heart disease among males.

旁遮普省马尔瓦地区人群冠心病危险因素研究

当心脏的血液供应被冠状动脉中脂肪物质的堆积堵塞或中断时，就会发生冠心病。一段时间后，动脉壁上堆积着脂肪沉积物，使动脉从内部变窄，阻断血液流动。本研究旨在确定旁遮普邦马尔瓦地区冠心病患者的危险因素患病率。在本研究中，吸烟（男性）的患病率为30.2%，饮酒（男性）为41.5%，肥胖等其他风险因素在男性中为70.8%，在女性中为55.3%。男性的冠状动脉危险因素高于女性。吸烟和饮酒可能是导致男性患冠心病风险更高的原因。通信地址：Ginjinder Kaur博士人类遗传学系助理教授
