Objectives: In this study our main aim to evaluate the effect of risk factor in Coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was done in NICVD, Dhaka from October 2010 to September 2011.A total of 100 consecutive patients were included. Study populations were sub-divided into two groups on the basis of cTn I level. In group I cTn I level ≥20ng/ml and in group II cTn I level <20ng/ml. 50 patients were included in group I and 50 patients were included in group II. Results: In group-1 most of the patients belong to 40-50 years age group where as in group-2 majority belong to >50 years age group. Prevalence of smoking habit was higher in Group I than that in Group II (78% vs. 56%) with statistically significant difference (p=0.02). Hypertension was almost identically distributed between two groups (62% vs. 58%, p=0.68). Diabetes and dyslipidaemia were also higher in group I than that of group II (60% vs. 36%) and (66% vs. 34%) respectively with statistically significant difference (p=0.02 and p=0.001). Conclusion: From our study we can conclude thatsmoking, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, and cTn I were emerged as independent predictors of CAD. Further study is needed for better outcome.
