| Popis: | Objectives: Higher testosterone and lower Estrogen levels are associated with cardiovascular disease in women. However, studies on endogenous sex hormones and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in pre-menopausal women are sparse. Material and Methods: We studied 50 pre-menopausal women presenting with ACS and age-matched controls who consented to the study with Testosterone, Estradiol, and Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels at baseline. They were clinically followed up for 6 months duration. Results: The mean age was 37.42 ± 5.7 years. 48% patients were obese. The mean body mass index was 27.53 ± 5.41 kg/m2. Hypertension followed by Diabetes was the most common risk factor. 14% had family history of coronary artery disease (CAD). 24% had atypical chest pain at presentation. Anterior wall ST elevation myocardial infarction was the most common presentation. Single-vessel disease was seen in 38%; 24% had Non-Obstructive CAD. Ratios of Bioavailable Testosterone: Estradiol, Estradiol: Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL), Estradiol: High-density Lipoprotein, SHBG: LDL, and SHBG: HbA1c were analyzed in cases and controls and were not found to be significantly associated. Conclusion: Endogenous sex hormones were not found to be significantly associated with ACS in premenopausal women. |
