Angina is a chest pressure, discomfort, or pain like a squeeze. It may occur as an angina attack that typically lasts from 1 to 15 minutes; however, angina is not only a disorder, but is also a symptom of heart disease. There are various risk factors that lead to raising an angina pectoris attack which were designated in previous studies but no one detected the most significant one in Thi- Qar governorate. Because of the specific economic, lifestyle and environment characteristics of this governorate, the present study has aimed to determine the most important risk factors that trigger angina among patients of the Nasiriya Heart Center in Nasiriya city.
A cross-sectional study has been conducted in Nasiriya Heart Center which involved 200 angina patients that attended the hospital. The patients answered questioners’ form that has been designed by the researcher. The collecting data contained the demographic, lifestyle and family history information of patients.
The results showed no significant differences between male and female in angina occurrence. An age group 31- 60 year was considered the most susceptible to the incidence of angina. However, no significant impacts of the genetic, smoking, alcohol and obesity were found as risk factors. On the other hand, significant effects of diabetes, hypertension, eating habits and stress in the angina incidence were determined.
In conclusion, the specificity of the governorate has had the greatest impact on the determination of risk factors where, apart from eating habits, the stress in its various types was the most important factor; therefore, intensive studies must promote population health conditions in this governorate.
