Dr. Ravindra Ramteke, Dr. Rajendra Madane, Dr. Aparna Kulkarni

Abstract


Coronary heart disease (CHD) is among the top five causes of morbidity worldwide, and is increasingly becoming common in India as well. Cardiovascular diseases accounts for approximately 12 million deaths annually and is the commonest cause of death globally.(1)  Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a group of disorders which involves thrombotic lesion in coronary artery.  This includes chronic coronary syndrome of chronic stable angina and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) which includes acute myocardial infarction with or without ST-segment elevation (STEMI and NSTEMI) and unstable angina diagnosed on electrocardiogram.(1,2) Diagnosis of such disorders is still a challenge despite the considerable progress in the diagnostic modalities .(1,2)


Keywords
