ABO and Rh Blood Groups in Ischemic Heart Disease Patients: A Cross Sectional Study from Rural Tertiary Care Hospital of South Karnataka
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Genetic factors are one of the non modifiable risk factors for ischemic heart disease. The ABO blood group is one such pivotal genetic determinant that can give valuable information for early detection of risk population. The objective of our study was to assess the relationship between blood group and ischemic heart disease. Method: 200 ischemic heart disease patients were included in this study. Study protocol included detailed clinical history, examination and investigations. Blood groups were determined using the slide haemagglutination technique. Result: In the present study of 200 patients, 45% (90) had blood group B, 30% (60) had blood group A, 16%(32) had blood group O and 9%(18) had blood group AB. A total of 200 patients 150(75%) were Rhpositive, while 50 (25%) were Rh -negative. Conclusion: Ischemic heart disease was higher in patients with blood group B (45%) than in other blood groups. More case control studies with a larger population are needed to confirm this association.
