Background: A recognized surrogate marker that can be utilised for the prediction and profiling of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the thickness of the intima-media layer. Despite the fact that it varies geographically and ethnically, the significantly less likely to have it documented. This is despite the fact that there are many different communities . As a result of the process of atherosclerosis, the left anterior descending coronary artery is one of the coronary arteries that is afflicted the most of the time. As a consequence of this, the goal of this study was to determine whether or not there is a correlation between the intima-media thickness of the left coronary artery and the characteristics of the artery based on its morphology. Time and Place of study: Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore March 2019 to October 2021 Results: The thickness of the intima and media, on average, was 0.334 + 0.05 mm. It was more prevalent in males than in females.0.329+0.01 mm in females, increased with the number of branches of the left coronary artery, starting from 0.329+0.01 mm in males bifurcation to 0.499+ 0.01 mm in pentafurcation; and was also greater in left coronary arteries that were shorter than the average length of the right coronary artery 0.5mm, in addition to those with bifurcation angles greater than 700. Conclusion: The length, bifurcation angle, and terminal branching pattern of the left coronary artery all have an impact on the intima-media thickness of the left anterior descending artery. Additionally, the intima-media thickness of the left anterior descending artery is greater in males than it is in females. It can be deduced from this that the morphological characteristics of the left coronary artery are anatomical factors that contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.Screening for atherosclerosis ought to be done on those who exhibit these characteristics in order to provide early intervention.
Introduction: The adoption of a sedentary lifestyle is a major contributor to the development of disease as well as to morbidity and mortality rates. People who have high blood pressure can benefit from regular physical activity since it lowers their blood pressure. A lower body fat percentage is connected with a lower risk of developing high blood pressure when engaging in physical activity. There is a clear correlation between the body mass index (BMI) and the percentage of body fat (BF%) in terms of the resting rate of sympathetic nerve discharge to skeletal muscle. A greater proportion of fat stored in the abdomen, as opposed to the gluteal region, is associated with an increased risk of a variety of health problems, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. As a result, the waist-to-hip ratio should be determined in order to conduct an analysis of fat distribution that is separate from an assessment of total obesity. The materials and procedures: Random selection was used to choose from the general population one hundred healthy sedentary volunteers and one hundred healthy non-sedentary subjects. Subjects in the age group (22-55 years) who had a BMI that was greater than 30 (kg/m2) were considered to be obese. Non-obese subjects were defined as having a body mass index (BMI) between 17.50 and 25.20 kg/m2 and an age range of 22 to 55 years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between healthy sedentary and non-sedentary individuals in terms of parameters such as body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and body fat percentage (BF%). The participants ranged in age from 22 to 55 years old, and the correlation between these parameters and blood pressure was determined. Results: The findings showed that sedentary subjects had higher levels of body mass index, waist circumference, and body fat percentage than non-sedentary subjects did, and there was a positive link between these parameters and blood pressure. Conclusion: The conclusion is that a sedentary lifestyle is linked to an increase in Body Mass Index, Waist Hip Ratio, Blood Pressure, as well as Body fat percentage and fat mass. There was a link between BMI, WHR, BF%, and FM and blood pressure that was in the positive. Keywords: Body fat; body mass index; sedentary lifestyle; waist-hip ratio
