بررسی ارتباط گروه های خونی و بیماری ایسکمیک قلبی در بیماران بستری شده در مراکز وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی Journal Article

Abstract:

Background & Objectives: Considering the prevalence and progressive process of ischemic heart disease (IHD)، the importance of its etiologic studies، and some reports confirming the role of blood groups in uncovring diseases such as IHD، this study was carried out to determine the correlation between blood group and IHD and some other related risk factors. This study was performed on patients who came to hospitals affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was preformed on 1000 patients with IHD. Their blood groups and risk factors were determined and recorded. The blood groups in Tehrani and Iranian population were determined according to IHD prevalence. The role of blood groups in above mentioned groups and the role of risk factors in IHD were evaluated by Chi square test. Results: 54.8% of patients were male and 9.9% were less than 45 years old، the prevalent age of the patients were between 65 to 75 years old. 47.2% of patients with A-blood group did not have any risk factors، whereas in other blood groups، almost 22.6% were without risk factors and were from O-blood group. The patients with several risk factors were mostly from O-blood group (36.5%) (p<0.05). Although most frequent blood groups in general population of Tehran and Iran has been O، the patients were mostly from A-blood group. Conclusion: It seems the type of blood group is effective in the frequency of IHD. The patients with IHD are mostly from A-blood group. More studies are needed on the correlation between blood groups and IHD.
