Qanitha A, et al. - In this prospective observational cohort study, researchers gave a detailed description of characteristics of patients hospitalized with coronary artery disease (CAD) at hospital admission, and clinical outcomes at 30-day and 6-month follow-up. From February 2013 to December 2014, 477 subjects with CAD a poor South-East Asian setting were involved. They found that these patients presented themselves with predominantly unstable conditions of premature CAD. Data revealed that these subjects had relatively severe illness, had a considerable time delay from symptom onset to admission or intervention, and most did not receive the guidelines-recommended treatment. Findings suggested that, to reduce the high rates of 30-day and 6-month mortality and adverse outcomes in this population, cognizance of symptoms, quick early management of acute cardiovascular disease (CVD), and well-established infrastructures and resources both in the primary and secondary hospital for CVD should be improved.
