Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a multifactorial disease resulting due to accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the coronary arteries that supply the myocardium (the muscle of the heart) with oxygen and nutrients. The aim of the present study is to investigate association of epidemiological and clinical risk factors in the development of disease in CHD patients and their first degree relatives (FDRS) in comparison with controls. The aetiology of CHD is multifactorial. It is the result of interaction between genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors. Monitoring the epidemiology and clinical risk factors of CHD is an important component in the pathogenesis of CHD.
