A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON THE EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS: A COMPHREHENSIVE CLINICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL APPROACH

Background: The goal of our study was to evaluate the comprehensive analysis of prospective study of the therapeutic management of Atherosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is a type of vascular disease where the blood vessels carrying oxygen away from the heart (arteries) become damaged from factors such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and certain genetic influences. Objective: The objective is to evaluate various therapeutic strategies in the management of atherosclerosis focusing on clinical and pharmacological roles of antihyperlipidimic, antiplatelet, anticoagulant, antianginal, antidiabetic, antihypertensive and diuretics in the disease progression and patient outcome. Methodology: It was hospital based comprehensive study conducted by random selection of patients. A prospective observational study involving analysis of inpatients of cardiology department in multispeaciality hospital. All eligible patients diagnosed with atherosclerosis based on clinical evaluation and confirmed through angiographic reports were enrolled after obtaining informed consent. Baseline data including demographic details, medical history, lifestyle factors, and current medications were recorded.Angiogram reports were thoroughly assessed to evaluate the location, severity, and extent of arterial stenosis. Patients were then managed according to standard therapeutic strategies, including pharmacological treatments such as statins, antiplatelets, antihypertensives, and antidiabetic agents, along with non pharmacological approaches like lifestyle modifications.
