 Abstract:

Certain risk factors increase the probability of developing coronary artery disease and it increases the number of death all over the World. The aim of this study is to identify the various risk factors in cases among subjects with coronary artery disease and in the control population who are unaffected with coronary artery disease and aimed to estimate the odds ratio among cases and controls. A case-control Epidemiological observational study was used. Sample Case: Patients with coronary artery disease were included. Control: Matched outpatients who don’t have coronary artery disease and fulfill the inclusion criteria. The sample size of this study in each group was 40. For Cases Simple random sampling technique was used and Controls are chosen randomly who were matching with the case group. Smoking acts as the strongest risk factor with p-value zero, so the odds of having CAD is 31 times in smokers than non-smokers. This is followed by anti-hypertensive Drug which has an odd of CAD with 10.5 times on patients taking anti-hypertensive drugs than those who do not take such drugs. The studied population has a high prevalence and clustering of traditional risk factors.
