Cigarette smoking emerged as major single common risk factor. 68% of the patients ar ñved in < 6 hrs. and around 32% of the patients received thrombolytic therapy. Conclusion: Coronary Heart Disease is some thing like epid emics. It effects far more male patients at younger age. Family history is not a strong risk factor, cigar ette smoking followed by hypertension and hyper lipidaemia is the major risk factor. Although great majority of patients arrived in less than six hours, however relatively few number of patients received thrombolytic therapy.
