DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION IN NON ST ELEVATION ACS PATIENTS

Abstract :

Background: Patient without persistent ST elevation in two or more contiguous leads but with biomarker evidence of myocardial necrosis are classified as having non ST elevation MI where as in patients without such evidence of myocardial necrosis, unstable angina is diagnosed. Diastolic dysfunction as a cause of left heart failure and its importance as a powerful predictor of cardiovascular events is now well established. Among patients with symptoms, an assessment of diastolic dysfunction should be part of every comprehensive adult echocardiographic examination. The main causes of diastolic dysfunction are the same as that results in systolic dysfunction. Hypertension, coronary disease and valvular heart disease are common causes of both the conditions. Acute coronary syndrome is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both younger and older age groups. In this study we will evaluate diastolic dysfunction in patients with unstable angina and Non ST Elevation MI. Aims and Objectives: To Study Diastolic dysfunction in patients of Non ST elevation ACS and to Study Tissue Doppler Echocardiographic Profile in Patients of Non ST elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome. Materials and Methods: It will be a prospective, one year study in the department of cardiology, CMC Ludhiana from 1/04/2016 to 31/03/2017. Patients enrolled in the study and will be subjected to 12 Lead ECG and complete Echocardiography to assess Diastolic dysfunction.
