Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading killer of women at
all ages, with annual mortality rates affecting greater numbers of
younger and older women than breast cancer. In the U.S., more than a
quarter of a million women die each year from IHD, and current
projections indicate that this will increase with our aging population
and epidemics of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus.
The aim of this study is to assess the influence of risk factors on
in-hospital outcomes in women presenting with acute coronary
syndrome.
This is a prospective study that was conducted on all females
fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of ACS (according to chest pain, ECG
and cardiac enzymes) admitted in cardiology department, National
Heart Institute, Egypt.Data was collected from September 2015 to
September 2016.Two hundred and twenty cases were chosen by
simple random technique, 13 of them were excluded due to
incomplete data in their hospital files. The total number of women in
the study was 207.
A case record form was used. It included:
Risk factors, Physical findings, Investigations, Diagnosis,
Interventional procedures and In-hospital outcome
The collected data were tabulated and analyzed using the
Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Suitable tests of
significance were calculated.The accepted level of significance in this
work was 0.05 (p≤ 0.05).
