[Table/Fig-3]:
Comparison of clinical diagnosis between younger and older Gujarati patients with acute coronary syndrome*
Clinical diagnosis | Younger Group (≤40 years) n= 100 | Older Group (>40 years) n= 100 | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
Anterior wall STEMI, n (%) | 61 (61.0%) | 51 (51.0%) | 0.156 |
Inferior wall STEMI, n (%) | 24 (24.0%) | 30 (30.0%) | 0.337 |
NSTEMI, n (%) | 9 (9.0%) | 14 (14.0%) | 0.267 |
Unstable Angina, n (%) | 6 (6.0%) | 5 (5.0%) | 0.756 |
Ejection Fraction, %(mean ± SD) | 43.48 ± 8.92 | 42.99 ± 11.63 | 0.738 |
*Values are expressed as number (%) of patients or mean ± SD; P value was calculated using the Student’s t-test for continuous variables and the Chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables; STEMI, ST segment elevation myocardial infarction; NSTEMI, Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
