Abstract
Background: Patients diagnosed with ACS and PAD will have worse hospital
outcomes in terms of higher mortality rates, heart failure, recurrent ischemia,
stroke, and major bleeding. Due to the absence of research articles specifically
studying the prevalence of PAD in ACS patients in Indonesia, this study becomes
the first one to determine the prevalence of peripheral artery disease in patients
with acute coronary syndrome at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung.
Methods: A descriptive analytics study was conducted and patients with acute
coronary syndrome were identified from registry registered between January
2021 and February 2023 to the Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine
Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. A total sampling method was employed. The
variables included were patient profile, clinical characteristics, prevalence of
peripheral artery disease, and risk factors.
Results: The prevalence of peripheral artery disease in patients with acute
coronary syndrome was 27.9%. The most prevalent risk factors were
hypertension and smoking. From a total of 31 subjects, the ratio of males to
females with PAD was 8:1. The highest incidence of ACS patients with PAD
occured in the age group of <60 years (54.8%), but it was not significantly
different from the age group of ≥60 years (45.2%).
Conclusion: PAD was common in ACS patients. Hypertension and smoking
were the main risk factors. More research is needed on the implications of PAD
in ACS.
