Background: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE (CAD) is a condition in which there is an inadequate
supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of myocardium; it typically occurs when there is an imbalance
between myocardium oxygen supply and demand. Coronary artery disease (CAD) (atherosclerotic heart
disease/ischemic heart disease (IHD) results from the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the
walls of the coronary arteries hampering the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium.
Objectives and Aims: To compare pulmonary function test in coronary artery disease patients with
healthy controls. To compare the following parameters in coronary artery disease patients with healthy
controls by spirometry-
1. Forced expiratory volume-1 second (FEV1) (L)
2. Forced vital capacity (FVC)
3. FEV1/FVC (%)
4. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) (L/s)
Materials and Methods: The present study was an analytical epidemiological study with case control
design with the sample size of 200 cases the present study was conducted at the department of Medicine,
Swami Dayan and Hospital, Delhi. Study period was of 18 months, from March 2018 to august 2019.
