Heart disease, CAD, Cardiomegaly, Deaths.Abstract
Aim :- To retrospectively find the different pathologies of heart disease in the cases examined at Mortuary of NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur, M.P
Objectives :- To find the incidence of heart disease in different age groups and different sex
To find the incidence of different pathologies of heart
Materials And Methods :- 2911 autopsies were performed during the time period of October 2021 to September 2022 out of that 83 cases of cardiac deaths were found. Deaths due to non-cardiac causes, such as trauma were excluded.
Study Design – Cross sectional study, retrospective
Study Area – Jabalpur region
Study Population – All autopsy cases which came to NSCB MC mortuary during the time period of October 2021 – September 2022.
Results :- Out of total 2911 autopsies conducted 83 cases of heart disease deaths were recorded. Among them 81.93% were due to coronary artery disease (CAD). 59.04% cases had cardiomegaly and heart weight was more (>420 grams) in 59.04 % cases. Among 83 cases of cardiac deaths 92 % victims were males and 8 % were females. The peak incidence of heart diseases was found to be in the age group of 40-49 years (27.71 %) followed by 50-59 years (26.51%). Least incidence were found in the age group below 19.
Conclusion :- Most of the heart disease deaths examined were due to coronary artery disease(CAD). Majority of victims were males. Hence this data shows us the quintessential requirement of intervention in the prevention of heart diseases .
