Description
Summary:[...]it is essential to understand the factors affecting it. [...]the aim of this study was to evaluate gender differences in the prevalence of risk factors for coronary artery disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome. [...]identification of factors affecting coronary artery disease is quite necessary. [...]the main objective of the present study is to examine the gender difference in the frequency of coronary artery disease risk factors in patients with acute coronary syndrome. According to Sinnaeve et al study (2009), which was conducted in order to investigate the association between fasting blood glucose levels and its consequences in patients with or without acute coronary syndrome, high blood sugar levels, regardless of the presence or absence of previous history of diabetes, is associated with a higher level of death in the hospital; additionally, increased fasting blood glucose is associated with the risk of death in the first 6 months after diagnosis [15, 16]. According to the results of the present study, more than 30% of patients with ACS had a history of diabetes and 15% had a high blood glucose at the time of clinical examination which, in turn, increases the risk and subsequent consequences in patients with ACS due to the ignorance regarding the pain resulting from neuropathy following diabetes; this causes the therapies to start later in these patients and increases the risk of mortality in them.
