Abstract
Introduction Angina pectoris the primary symptom of ischemic heart disease is caused by transient episodes of myocardial ischemia that are due to imbalance in the myocardial oxygen supplydemand relationship Various drugs are prescribed which keeps changing during every decade This study tries to know the current trends in prescription in myocardial infarctionMaterial and Methods About108 patients data were collected during the period year 20042008 admitted with acute myocardial infarction and data were entered in preformed proforma and were analysed by calculating percentageStatistical AnalysisData were interpreted in terms of percentageResults The percentage of prescription pattern of various classes of drugs was 91 667 639 352 315 25 157 139 129 93 and 74 for Antiplatelet Agents Antianginal drugs Hypolipidemics Beta receptor antagoist Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors ACEI Diuretics Anticoagulants Calcium Channel Blockers CCBs Angiotensin Receptor Blockers ARBs Fibrinolytics and Inotropic drugs respectively Most of the patients received Aspirin as well as ClopidogrelConclusion Antiplatelet drugs was the most commonly prescribed and alpha blockers were prescribed least as evident from our studyKeywordsMyocardial Infarction Prescription Pattern Retrospective Study Tertiary Care Hospital
