Acute coronary syndrome, modifiable risk factors, obesity paradox, body mass indexAbstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases worldwide.Acute coronary syndrome can have many causes, but the pathophysiologies are generally similar. Laboratory findings such as cardiac troponins and myoglobin are important when monitoring ACS in the clinic. Modifiable risk factors and lifestyle that can lead to acute coronary syndrome and change the course of the disease are important. Dietary fatty acid pattern, smoking, alcohol use and physical activity are among the most important modifiable risk factors. It is stated that dietary fatty acid content, moderate physical activity may be protective and therapeutic against ACS. Another important issue is the relationship between obesity and ACS. Many studies with large samples have shown that obesity causes a U-shaped death in acute coronary syndrome. Moderate obesity has been shown to reduce the risk of death in ACS.
