VSports在线直播 - Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) among the young population in Jordan VSports手机版. We examined the risk factors that might be involved in disease incidence. Clinical characteristics, patients' living standards, and various other risk factors were considered to conduct the study. .

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at King Abdullah University Hospital. Data were collected from patients who visited this hospital between January 2013 and December 2017 V体育安卓版. Only young Jordanian adults of age <50 years were included in this study. The data of 358 patients were purposively collected and analyzed (as per the determined inclusion criteria), where information related to their baseline characteristics, clinical characteristics, and related biochemical assays was reviewed. .

Results: This study showed a high prevalence of IHD among young males in Jordan. It also revealed that increased age, smoking, hypertension, unfavorable lipid profile, and obesity were the major possible risk factors for the occurrence of disease. These patients were initially diagnosed with either unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction V体育ios版. Initial WBCs count, particularly monocytes differential, was high in about one-third of patients, besides cardiac biomarkers. .

Conclusion: The high incidence of IHD was noticed among young individuals VSports最新版本. We suggest that more efforts should be instigated for reducing the high prevalence of IHD by adopting a healthy lifestyle, preventive attitude, and nutritious food intake. .

Keywords: Jordan; family history; ischemic heart disease; myocardial infarction; risk factors; young. V体育平台登录.
