“…It can be divided into two, which are controllable and uncontrollable risk factors.

“…Despite a lot of investigation for novel risk factor, established risk factors still play a major role for CVD (Kuulasmaa et al, 2000). These are the dyslipidemias including high, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), low, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high fasting triglyceride (TG), hypertension, cigarette smoking, diabetes, obesity and physical inactivity (Lee et al, 2001;D'Agostino et al, 2000;ESCHDCRG, 1998). The objective of this study was to assess the lipid profiles of the CHD patients admitted in Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun (HRPB) Ipoh, Malaysia.…”

Coronary Heart Disease refers to a group of closely related syndrome caused by imbalance between the myocardial oxygen demand and the blood supply. It is the single most common cause of death in economically developed countries, including the United States and Europe. Hypercholesterolemia is considered as one of the most common modifiable risk factors of CHD. Men are more commonly affected than women until the fifth decade, after which time the frequency of CHD is similar in both sexes. Other risk factors are hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking. This was a cross-sectional study in demonstrating the pattern of the lipid profile (Total Cholesterol (TC); Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL-C); High Density Lipoprotein (HDL-C) and Triglyceride levels (TG) among the CHD patients admitted in the hospital. Most of the CHD patients had the total cholesterol level high, and among them 25.6% were Malay. Malays were the highest in the optimal range (< 3.0mmol/L) with 20.9% and HDL level within the normal range (1.2-1.8mmol/L) by 22.2% (34). Most of the CHD patients had the TG level within normal range (<1.5mmol/L) but among them 19.9% were Malays. This study had demonstrated that Malays were mostly affected by heart disease (HD) followed by Chinese and Indians, and the incidence was twice as high as in men compared to women.

“…Enas et al in their study on coronary artery disease in Indians (CADI) study reports the prevalence of diabetes to be three to six times higher among south Asian's than Europeans, Americans and other Asians [9] which is also observed in this patient, showing fasting glucose as 186 mg/dL predicting high blood glucose levels with hypertriglyceridemia. We Indians have relatively higher risk of predisposition to coronary artery disease even at relatively lower level of cholesterol [10] . Further hospital based study also observed lower levels (<200 mg/dL) of cholesterol in 75% of patients with myocardial infarction which is indicative of the fact that we have lower threshold for the total cholesterol levels compared to western population adding to further risk of CAD [11] .…”

Body mass index and weight change since 20 years of age and risk of coronary heart disease among Japanese: the Japan Public Health Center-Based Study

Background: Obesity and weight gain are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease in Western countries. However, their impact is not well elucidated in Asia, where body mass index (BMI) levels are generally lower than in Western countries. We examined associations of BMI (kg/m 2 ) and weight change with risk of coronary heart disease in Japanese people. Methods and results: A total of 43 235 men and 47 444 women aged 40-69 years living in communities were followed up from 1990 to 2001 in the Japan Public Health Center-based (JPHC) prospective study . During 879 619 person-years of follow-up, we documented 399 cases of coronary heart disease (334 myocardial infarction and 65 sudden cardiac death) for men and 119 (95 myocardial infarction and 24 sudden cardiac death) for women. Compared with persons with BMI 23.0-24.9, men, but not women, with BMI X30.0 had higher risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction; the multivariable relative risks for men were 1.8 (1.1-3.0) and 1.9 (1.1-3.2), respectively. When weight change was examined according to BMI at age 20 years, men with initial BMI o21.7 who gained more than 10 kg compared with men of no weight change had a twofold higher risk of coronary heart disease. Both men and women with initial BMI X21.7 showed no association between weight loss and the risk. Conclusions: High BMI was associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease among men. Also, weight gain was associated with increased risk among lean men.

Risk factors and incident coronary heart disease in Chinese, Malay and Asian Indian males: the Singapore Cardiovascular Cohort Study

Abstract: The increased susceptibility of Asian Indian males to CHD has been confirmed in a longitudinal study. All of the examined established risk factors for CHD were found to play important but varying roles in the ethnic groups in Singapore.
