All the patients were of different age groups, sex, socio-economic status, ethnicity with different co-morbidities. A pre-tested format consisting of patients profile, subjective data, objective data, biochemical data, medications and 24 hour dietary recall followed by medical nutrition therapy during the hospital stay. RESULTS: Among [n=60] subjects from 28-80 years of age, the detailed study identified the common risk factors with respect to cardiovascular diseases. The study showed a higher percentage of age from 28-70 years and is mostly in males. Majority of the patients are with increased BMI and are alcholics/smokers.

Majority of them are accompanied with co-morbidities with obesity, hypertension and diabetic. And predominantly follow a high calorie and high fat diet .Thus leading to a conclusion that consumption of high calorie and high fat food, presence of co-morbidities and smoking could be the risk factors of PTCA.
Cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular surgery – PTCA, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, alcoholism, smoking and diet- high fat food.
