Methods :The study included 200 patients with IHD who were admitted to CCU in Baquba teaching hospital in a period of 3 months from 1st. February to 30th. April 2008 . We registered the risk factors of IHD as age , sex , DM , hypertension , smoking , obesity , physical inactivity and residency . Results :This study showed that most of IHD cases were diagnosed as unstable angina (52%) followed by myocardial infarction (MI) (37%) and the remaining cases were angina pectoris (11%) . IHD was more in males (56%) .Most cases were between (46-65) years old (57.5%) . IHD was more in urban (70.5%) . Smokers were (31.5%) , diabetics (25%) , hypertensive (54%) , Obesity (41%) , physical inactivity (59.5%) Conclusion :This study showed the pattern of IHD cases admitted to CCU in Baquba teaching hospital and the relation of risk factors and there percentage to IHD.
