High Risk Factors In The Event Of Coronary Heart Disease

Abstract

Coronary artery disease is a condition of fatty deposits in the coronary arterial
vessels of the heart that inhibit blood flow to the heart. Risk factors for coronary heart disease consist of factors that can be modified (history of the disease, lifestyle) and non-modifiable (genetic). The existence of a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and smoking lifestyle can affect the incidence
of coronary heart disease. The purpose of the research was to analyze modify
risk factors in the incidence of coronary heart disease. Research design is quantitative research with a retrospective descriptive design. The population in
this research was data on patients with coronary heart disease in the last 1 year
of the 2020 period. The population is 242 people. The sampling technique used
is quota sampling of 151 respondents. The results of bivariate analysis obtained
factors that affect the incidence of coronary heart disease, namely a history of
hypertension and diabetes mellitus. There is no association between smoking
lifestyle, obesity and physical activity to the incidence of coronary heart
disease. The results of multivariate analysis obtained a more dominant risk
factor for coronary heart disease events, namely a history of hypertension with
a value of p-value < 0.05. Hypertension becomes the dominant factor because
high blood pressure continuously causes damage to the arterial vascular system
slowly. It is also aggravated the presence of fatty deposits on the walls of blood
vessels. This increases the risk of coronary heart disease. Recommendations
from the results of this study for further research is that it is hoped that this
research can be used as literature on the dominant risk factor data for heart
disease that occurs in hospitals.
