RISK FACTORS AND TYPES OF NON FATAL ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN ZLITEN TEACHING HOSPITAL
Keywords:
non-fatal, Zliten, risk factors, smokingAbstract
Acute MI is a very significant health problem leading to an important mortality and morbidity and because identification and modification of its risk factors can help to decrease its effects, we had conducted this prospective observational study in the CCU of Zliten Teaching Hospital aiming to determine the risk factors and anatomical distribution of acute non-fatal MI in Zliten area. Zliten area has a population of 481881 according to 2006 census. Cases died on arrival or within 24 hours from admission were excluded from our study. Results:- 30 cases were admitted to the department of medicine in ZlitenTeaching Hospital with acute MI ( 18 males and 12 female) in the period between 1/1/2009 to 31/12/2009. 8 cases were diagnosed as NSTEMI, 22 cases with STEMI, out of which 7cases with inferior MI and the others with anterior or anterolateral MI. The most important risk factor was smoking ,followed by DM and HTN. The striking observation is that the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia is far more than hypercholesterolemia.
