Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most common causes of death among men and women worldwide. It is predicted that by 2030 around 23.3 million people will die as a consequence of CVD. There are numerous risk factors of CVD. The goal of this study is to examine the cardiovascular clinical and biochemical parameters of hospitalized CVD patients, as well as to assess the most common risk factors.
Methods: 72 known healthy individuals were randomly allocated to the control group (male 47 and female 25). We collected data through a questionnaire from 154 CVD patients as a study group (male 108 and female 46). Cardiovascular status was assessed using clinical parameters like hypertension, chest pain, shortness of breathing, pain in the arm, and biochemical parameters like lipid profile, RBS, Creatinine, and an electrolyte panel. Inter- and intra-group comparison was performed using SPSS and Microsoft excel.
Results: A total of 154 hospitalized CVD patients were analyzed (male 108 female 46) The most significant age group for males was observed 56- 65 years (mean 60) and female was 38-48 (43) years. A highly statistically significant increase was observed in total cholesterol and LDL in males than females, but a decrease in TG than females. Changes were also observed in other cardiovascular biochemical and clinical Parameters.
Conclusion: There was a significant difference in smoking status, physical activity, lipid panel, and other biochemical parameters among males and females.

Key words: Biochemical parameter, Cardiovascular disease, Hypertension, Lipid prfile, Out patients.
