Abstract
1. The incidence of anterior wall MI is more than inferior wall MI (65:35). 2. The incidence of MI is highest in the age group of 50-60 years(39%) and more in males(84%). 3. The incidence of MI is more among manual labourers (66%). 4. The incidence of MI is more among smokers(78.6%) and those with other risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia etc. 5. Systolic and diastolic BP are higher in anterior wall MI when compared to inferior wall MI. 6. Tachyarrhythmias and other complications are more common in anterior wall MI, whereas heartblocks are more common in inferior wall MI. 7. Majority of the patients admitted in ICCU are in Class I based on Killip’s classification (42%). 8. Mortality is high in anterior (72.2%) when compared to inferior wall MI. 9. Mortality is high in the age group 50-60 years(44.4%) and more in males (83.3%). 10. Mortality is high in Class IV Killip (61.1%) patients and more due to VT/VF(88.9%). CONCLUSION : The overall incidence of anterior wall MI is much more than inferior wall MI. Also complications such as arrhythmias and mortality are much more in anterior wall MI than in inferior wall MI. Hence more care should be taken and close monitoring and early treatment should be instituted in all patients with anterior wall MI.
