Background and Objective : Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is characterized by classical history of ischaemic chest pain, apprehension and sweating with definite Electro-Cardio gram (ECG) evidence or cardiac marker of ischaemia. The risk factors for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) are modifiable and non-modifiable. CAD is a major cause of disability and the leading cause of death in women. The objective of our study was to assess the impact of various risk factors in women presented with ACS. Method: A total of 100 female patients of ACS and twenty healthy females were taken as control. The mean age of women presented with ACS was 62.62 years and all have attained menopause. Result: The prevalence of major risk factors of ACS in women are hypertension (78%), stress (74%), obesity (46%), sedentary habits (38%), genetic predisposition (36%), diabetes (32%) and tobacco use (18%),higher socio-economic status (74%). Significantly (P <0.05) high levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides along with reduced High Density Lipid (HDL). Conclusion: The prevalence of C - reactive protein (CRP) Positivity (>6 mg/L) is significant in women with (92%) as compared to healthy women (20%).[Jain S NJIRM 2014; 5(3) :27-32]
