OBJECTIVES:
To determine the frequency of hypomagnesaemia in patients presenting with Acute CoronarySyndrome.
Methodology:
It was Descriptive Cross Sectional study conducted in Department of Cardiology, MTI-HMC, Peshawarfrom 07 Mar, 2021 to 20 Sept 2021 after approval from Institutional ethical board.
About185 patients were enrolled in the study. All patients presenting with Acute coronary syndrome to CCU and admitted were enrolled in study .After informed consent ,using aseptic3cc BD syringe5ml of blood was drawn and was sent in the vial for assessment ofmagnesium level. Hypomagnesaemia was labelled as per operational definition. All the data wasnoted and recorded into the attached proforma along with demographic details of the patient.
RESULTS:.
Maximun number of patients were in age group 51-70 years ie 77.83% (144)patients .About 22.16%(41)patients were recorded in 35-50 years age group. Mean and SDs for age was 62+7.11years and BMI was 27.2+1.56 kg/m2. Mean and SDs for
magnesium level was 0.79+0.04 mmoles
44 (23.78%) patients had unstable angina, 124(67.02%) patients had NSTEMI, 17 (9.18%) patients had STEMI.
15 (8.10%) patients wererecorded with hypomagnesaemia.
CONCLUSION:
Our results show variations in the occurrence of hypomagnesaemia in acute coronary syndrome
and that is the reason we recommend early assessment of serum magnesium concentration in acutecoronary syndrome so as to follow and implement proper magnesium supplementations well intime as hypomagnesaemia is preventable and therefore identifying it at early stage may be ofsignificant help to the patients.
