| dc.description.abstract | Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most prevalent serious diseasesglobally, and its prevalence is increasing in Sub-Saharan Africa as risk factors for the diseaserise. However, research on the magnitude and associated factors of MI in Sub-Saharan Africa,especially Ethiopia, is limited. Objective: to assess the magnitude of myocardial infarction and associated factors Amon acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients attending at selected hospitals from January 2018 –February 2021 G.C. Methods and materials: institution based retrospective study design was conducted. AllPatients with ACS was included in the study. Data was entered into Epi-info version (3.5.1)statistical software package then was exported to SPSS software package version 24 forfurther analysis and p-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result: Among the total of 374 ACS patients, 338(90.4%) of them were MI. The patients'average age was 55.99 years old, +/- 12.98 years. Two hundred fifty nine (76.6%) of MIpatients were between the ages of 18 and 65, while the majority of patients, 82.5%, were male. Out of the total of 338 MI patients, 74.0% of them were ST elevation MI. diabetes wasprevalent risk factors in this study. Among the independent variables diabetes and systolic BPof patients (90-140 mmHg) and heart rate >100 b/min were significant association atmultivariate analysis. Conclusion: MI was identified in the vast majority of ACS patients. Diabetic mellitus,systolic BP (90-140 mmHg) and heart rate >100 b/min were significant association with MI. | en_US |
