AB  - Purpose This study aimed to assess the clinico-demographic profile, risk factors, 
      and pattern of coronary involvement in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome 
      (NSTE-ACS) and chronic stable angina (CSA). Methods This was a retrospective 
      study conducted in a tertiary care hospital catering mainly to the rural 
      population in Southern India from January 2020 to July 2022. Data from 333 
      patients with NSTE-ACS and CSA were analyzed during the study period for the 
      clinico-demographic profile, risk factors, and pattern of coronary involvement in 
      angiography. Results The mean age at presentation was 56.05+/-9.31. Significant 
      obstructive coronary artery disease was present in 234 (70.3%) patients. Overall, 
      single, double, and triple vessel disease occurred in 26%, 20%, and 32.4% of 
      patients with NSTE-ACS and chronic stable angina. Sixty percent of the diabetic 
      and hypertensive patients (n=92/153) had multivessel involvement. Left main 
      coronary artery disease was present in 40 patients (12%). Conclusion Unstable 
      angina was the most common clinical presentation. Left anterior descending (LAD) 
      was the most common coronary vessel to be involved with occurrence of triple 
      vessel disease in 32% of the study population. Multivessel involvement was more 
      common in the diabetic and hypertensive groups.
