Patients who were admitted with diagnosis of ACS were enrolled in the study. Data were recorded and analyzed using SPSS 20. Association between blood group and ACS was analyzed using chi square test and logistic regression.ResultsTotal 430 patients were admitted with diagnosis of ACS during the study period, of which 307 (71.4 %) were male and Mean age was 61.22 years (±10.75). Blood group O was the most common type of blood group observed in 207 (48%) patients.
