Abstract
Background: India continues to face a high burden of valvular heart disease (VHD), predominantly driven by rheumatic heart disease.
Detailed demographic and clinical profiling of this patient population is essential to guide clinical practice, resource allocation, and future risk model development.
Objective: To describe the demographic characteristics, clinical comorbidities, and preoperative functional status of Indian patients undergoing
valvular heart surgery at a tertiary care teaching hospital.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, between 2018 and 2021. Fifty-six patients undergoing
elective or urgent valvular heart surgery were included. Data collected included age, gender, ASA physical status, preoperative functional status (NYHA and CCS class),
left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), presence of diabetes mellitus, renal function, and pulmonary hypertension.
Results: The mean age of the study cohort was 48.6 ± 12.21 years; 53.6% were female. ASA status distribution was I (14.3%), II (37.5%), III (42.9%), and IV (5.3%).
A critical preoperative state was seen in 48.2% of patients, while 25% had insulin-dependent diabetes. Pulmonary hypertension was observed in 91.1% of patients.
67.8% presented with NYHA Class III/IV, and LVEF dysfunction ranged from mild to severe in 37.5% of patients.
Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive demographic and clinical profile of Indian valvular heart surgery patients, highlighting a younger population
with high rates of comorbidities and advanced disease presentation, distinct from Western cohorts.
