    Men aged 40-55 with angina pectoris showed higher blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight. These patients also had more heart changes and leg circulation issues, but similar smoking habits.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Epidemiology
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) poses a significant health burden.
    • Understanding risk factors for IHD, such as angina pectoris (AP), is crucial for prevention.
    • Identifying specific risk factors associated with AP in middle-aged men is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the incidence of IHD risk factors in men aged 40-55 with and without angina pectoris (AP).
    • To investigate the association between AP and specific cardiovascular risk indicators.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional study comparing two groups of men aged 40-55: one with AP and one without.
    • Assessment of blood pressure, serum cholesterol, ponderal index, and smoking habits.
    • Evaluation of electrocardiographic findings for pathological and ischaemic changes.

  • Inclusion of intermittent claudication as a clinical indicator.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients with AP exhibited significantly higher blood pressure, serum cholesterol levels, and ponderal index compared to those without AP.
    • A higher frequency of probable pathological and possibly ischaemic changes on ECG was observed in the AP group.
    • Intermittent claudication was more prevalent in men with angina pectoris.
    • No significant difference in cigarette consumption was found between the groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Elevated blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and increased body weight are associated with angina pectoris in middle-aged men.
    • Angina pectoris may indicate underlying ischaemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease.
    • Smoking cessation may not be the primary differentiating factor for AP in this demographic.
