Abstract |  Download PDF | |  Post | Objective: To compare the association between thromboembolic events and cardiovascular risk with ABO Blood Groups.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study included a total of 349 participants. All were aged 35-55 years were selected for the cardio risk program that generated a score, known as the cardiac risk score, calculated as Total cholesterol/HDL. The ratio greater than 4.5 was considered a high risk for CHD. Non-O Blood group (A and B) was collected to determine the variables like serum cholesterol, LDL, triglyceride, and HDL levels, which are the prognostic tools for the risk of cardiovascular disease. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 23. One-way ANOVA and Chi-square test were applied, and p
Key words: ABO blood group, cardiac risk score, CVDs and thrombo-embolic events.
