Item Association of Creatinine Clearance Rate and Coronary Angiographic Severity in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.(2015) Hossain, Mofazzal; Khan, H I Lutfur Rahman; Chowdhury, Abdul Wadud; Abdullah, Abu Sadique; Amin, Md Gaffar; Alam, Mohammad Sarwar; Kabir, S M Eftar Jahan; Khan, Afrin Tunaggina; Faruk, Chowdhury OmarBackground: In epidemiological studies and clinical trials renal function has been shown to be an independent predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD). We conducted this study to find out the association between creatinine clearance rate (CCr) and coronary angiographic severity in patients with (CAD). Method: It was a cross sectional study carried out in the department of Cardiology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka during the period of April, 2011 to March, 2012. All the patients with Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) admitted in the department of Cardiology who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent coronary angiogram were taken as sampling population. Sampling technique was purposive and sample size was 118. By Cockcroft-Gault formula, CCr was estimated from serum creatinine. Coronary angiographic severity of coronary artery disease was assessed by vessel score and stenosis score. Statistical analysis was carried out by descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient test and one way ANOVA test. Level of significance was set at 0.05. Results: Mean CCr among study subjects was 72.57 ± 17.78 ml/min. Vessel score showed 18.6% had normal coronaries, 37.3% single vessel disease, 31.4% double vessel disease and 12.7% triple vessel disease. There was significant positive relationship between serum creatinine and vessel score, and also negative relationship between CCr and vessel score. The study also showed significant negative correlation between CCr and stenosis score. Conclusion: Angiographic severity of coronary artery disease is associated with degree of renal dysfunction. Decreased creatinine clearance is associated with more extensive CAD.Item Comparison of Diagnostic Criteria to Detect Undiagnosed Diabetes in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients with Admission Hyperglycemia.(2015) Alam, Mohammad Sarwar; Khan, HI Lutfur Rahman; Chowdhury, Abdul Wadud; Sabah, Khandker Md. Nurus; Amin, Md Gaffar; Kabir, SM Eftar Jahan; Abdullah, Abu Sadique; Hossain, Mofazzal; Khan, Tunaggina Afrin; Shahidulla, Md SkBackground: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most important risk factors of coronary artery disease. Admission hyperglycemia adversely influences the outcome of acute coronary syndrome patients. The study was conducted to compare the various diagnostic methods for the detection of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus in acute coronary syndrome patients with admission hyperglycaemia in Bangladeshi population. Methods: It was a cross sectional comparative study involving 157 patients with admission blood glucose level e”7.8 mmol/l. Fasting plasma glucose, Glycated haemoglobin, pre-discharge oral glucose tolerance test was measured in all subjects and comparison of performance of different methods was done. Results: Oral glucose tolerance test revealed that in spite of admission hyperglycaemia, 57 (36.3%) patients were diabetic and 52 (33.12%) patients had impaired glucose homeostasis and 48 (30.57%) patients had normal glucose metabolism. Undiagnosed diabetes could not be adequately predicted with admission plasma glucose, fasting plasma glucose or HbA1c alone (area under the ROC curve 0.589, 0.825 and 0.852 respectively). Conclusion: Admission hyperglycaemia does not diagnose diabetes reliably in a stressful condition like acute coronary syndrome. Although neither admission plasma glucose, fasting plasma glucose, nor HbA1c level were as good as oral glucose tolerance test in detecting true diabetes, but combined fasting plasma glucose & HbA1c were found to be more sensitive & specific screening tool for detecting unknown diabetes in acute coronary syndrome patients with admission hyperglycaemia.Item In-Hospital Outcome of Older and Younger Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.(2015) Kabir, S M Eftar Jahan; Chowdhury, Abdul Wadud; Amin, Md.Gaffar; Alam urus, Sarwar Mohammad Sabah Khandker Md.N; Abdullah, Abu Sadique; Hossain, Mofazzal; Zahid, Abu; Faruk, Chowdhury Omar; Khan, Tunaggina AfrinBackground: Acute coronary syndrome is a cardiac emergency. It is increasingly common in younger peoples. Management of elderly peoples is difficult due to their associated comorbidity. This study tried to compare the in-hospital outcome of the younger and older patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: The study was a comparative cross sectional study. Clinical and biochemical evaluation was done in hospital settings. A total number of 120 patients were included in the study and divided into two groups according to distribution of age. In group I there were elderly groups of aged >60 yrs. and in group II there were patients within the age 40 to 60 yrs. All the data were collected systematically in a preformed data collection form. Results: Group I populations had more in hospital stay and more complications than group II. Conclusion: The study revealed significant association with age and outcome of Acute coronary syndrome patients. Complications of acute coronary syndrome increase as the age of the patients increases.
