Abstract

The purpose of our study was to perform a combined analysis of prospective study of diuretics to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the diuretics prescribed in our study. To understand the mechanism of diuretic drugs and statin, to evaluate the use of diuretics, to find the best diuretic drug according to the clinical indications and to formulate future treatment guidelines and protocol.


METHOD: 120 cases were collected, and the data collection form will be prepared and used. This form mainly contains the demographic details of the patients and medication chart. All information relevant to the study was collected from outpatient as well as inpatient department from the time of admission till the date of discharge after taking consent from patient.


RESULT: A total of 120 cases of cardiovascular diseases were observed. Majority of the cases were males (73%) compared to females (27%). Most of them were between the age group of 41-50 years (27%). Hypertension (85%), coronary artery disease (81%) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) (76%) were the most common comorbidities. Our analysis shows that (20%) are vegetarian and (80%) are non-vegetarian. Analyzing the patient report, it was noticed that Aspirin (92%), Metoprolol (89%), Atorvastatin (85%), Cilnidipine (83%), and Clopidogrel (80%) were the most widely prescribed medications whereas the most widely prescribed Diuretic was Hydrochlorothiazide (60%), Furosemide (45%), and Spironolactone (25%).
