| description | Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the leading cause of
morbidity and mortality in India. It is estimated that, over 65
million people will be affected by CAD by the year 20151
. CAD
occurs in Indians almost 5 to 10 years earlier, resulting in loss
of potentially productive life years2
. The prevalence rates of
CAD in India are increasing in both urban and rural population3
.
Approximately 3-4% Indians in rural areas and 8-10 % in urban
areas have CAD4
. The growth of CAD is also observed in the
poor and middle aged Indians which is a reason for concern5
.
ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in one of the serious
complication of CAD, resulting from sudden occlusive thrombus
formation in the epicardial coronary arteries1
. In the CREATE
registry over 60% of acute coronary syndrome patients had
STEMI, as compared to 40% of patients from developed
countries6
