Description
Summary:[...]we sought to compare the frequency of cardiovascular risk factors and number of multimorbidity among CABG patients in 2010 and 2016. According to figure 1, the frequency of HTN in patients younger than 50 as well as those aged 50-70 in second period of study significantly increased compared to the first period (P = 0.001, P = 0.004, respectively). Discussion This study showed a decrease in the age of CABG patients in the second period of study, so that 13% of patients in 2016 were younger than 50 years old compared to 4.2% in 2010. [...]prevalence of lifestyle-related risk factors such as DM and HTN increased in 2016 in comparison to 2010. In spite of having several limitations, our findings have some strength points as well. Since majority of Guilan citizens receive cardiovascular services from one and only university hospital, our finding can be extended to a large part of northern area of Iran.
