Abstract

Background: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with a significant impact on public health systems, especially in developing countries.


Objective: This study aims to identify the knowledge of CHD risk factors among diabetic patients attending at a tertiary level hospital in Bangladesh.


Methodology: A Cross Sectional Study conducted among the diabetic patients at Khulna Medical College Hospital, Khulna from January 2023 to April 2023. Total 150 known diabetic patients were selected by using simple random sampling method and face to face interview was conducted with a semi structured questionnaire.


Results: The study revealed that, most of the respondents 73.4% were above 52 years and 57.3% were female. 80% respondents reported that low HDL may cause CHD and only 16.7% reported that obesity is a risk factor for CHD.93.3% respondents were knowledgeable about influence of anxiety/worry as a CHD risk factor.


Conclusion: The study highlights significant deficiencies in the knowledge of CHD risk factors among diabetic patients in Bangladesh, indicating a pressing need for more effective educational interventions.
