Abstract:
A retrospective study was performed on 86 patients with unstable angina treated at Cardiovascular Department of Viet Tiep – Hai Phong Hospital from January 2004 to May 2005. Results: this disease occured mainly in age group of 51-80; there was no difference in prevalence between 2 genders. The hospitalized patients more likely live in urban than in rural (77.91% vs 22.09%). Most of patients had at least one risk factor; several patients had 2 or 3 risk factors. Most common risk factors are hypertension (53.49%), diabetes (15.21%), and dyslipidemia (46.5%). Angina appeared in rest time in 77.9%, and angina post-myocardial infarction angina accounted for 26.,74%. ECG was performed 2.62 times/patient. Heparin and aspirin are two most common used anti-coagulators (used in 70.09% and 84.88% of patients, respectively). Two drugs were used to treat myocardial ischemia are nitrat derivatives (87.21%) and beta-adrenergic blockers (40.7%). The hospitalized mortality rate was 4.65% due to ventricular fibrillation
