Abstract
Unfavorable prognosis associated with myocardial infarction shows emphasized the importance of evaluation of risk factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction; despite recorded treatment successes in the last decade. It is reported in population studies that an increased risk of cardiac morbidity is associated with Microalbuminuria. The objective of the study was to determine the association of urine albumin excretion rate values in non-diabetic Myocardial Infarction patients. This observational study was conducted in the Department of General Medicine and Cardiology at the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Jaipur between 1st May 2023 to 28th February 2023. All non-diabetic Myocardial infarction patients of age more than 18 years were included after written consent.Among 50 patients, males were 40 (80%) and females were 10 (20%), and the mean age+/- S.D. was 64+/- 16.16. 84% had a smoking history. Prevalence of microalbuminuria was 60%. Findings revealed that there is a positive correlation between urine microalbumin and IHD and the changes in urine microalbumin can be better explained. Urine albumin excretion values had a strong association with myocardial infarction patients and in general it could be applied as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in non-diabetic patients.
