Demographic and Clinical Profiles of Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: Analyzing Age, Sex, Blood Pressure and Bmi

This prospective observational study on Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) was conducted at Bangalore Baptist Hospital, Bangalore, involving 200 patients admitted with ACS over six months.The study evaluated the demographic profile, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and in-hospital outcomes of ACS patients through patient records and structured interviews.Statistical analysis was performed to identify associations between clinical and demographic variables.The results showed that STEMI was the most common form of ACS (60.5%), followed by unstable angina (20%) and NSTEMI (19.5%).Males accounted for 67% of cases, consistent with higher ACS risk in men due to factors like smoking and hypertension.The mean patient age was 64 years, with most cases occurring in the 51-70 age group.Hypertension (39%), family history of coronary artery disease (42%), smoking (24%), and diabetes (19%) were the most common risk factors.A moderate positive correlation was found between age and troponin levels, indicating more severe myocardial injury in older patients.The findings highlight the need for improved cardiovascular prevention and larger, multi-center studies to validate the results.
