Introduction

The incidence of coronary artery atherosclerosis is growing rapidly worldwide. Coronary artery disease(CAD) affects the younger Indian population than other ethnic groups with more serious and widespread angiographical involvement. It is recorded that in patients over 60 years of age, Kerala has the highest (82.8 percent) prevalence level of coronary artery disease, states in North West India such as Punjab have even higher prevalence in the younger age group. Epidemiological studies performed over the past 50 years reported a significant increase in the incidence of coronary artery disease in both urban and rural Indian populations, and CAD was expected to assume epidemic proportions in India by 2015 [1-3]. Because of its anatomical similarity to the anterior descending artery of the heart due to its anatomical proximity to the heart and outstanding long-term patency, artery bypass surgery (CABG) and internal thoracic artery.

Objectives of the study

The objectives of the study are

• To assess the degree of blood flow deficiency of the heart among pre-test group.

• To assess the efficacy of ozone therapy among the posttest group.

• To compare the result of pre-test and post-test group.

Material and Methods

The study's research layout outlines the researchers' basic strategies to establish reliable and interpretable facts. This chapter presents the researcher's methodology for the study that includes research design, variables, study setting, sample population, sample size, and sampling technique [4]. It also deals with tool development and description, pilot study, content validity and reliability, data collection process and data analysis plan. The study thus adopts an evaluative approach as the investigator's objective was to assess the effect of ozone therapy on patients with coronary atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Retrospective qualitative research design was the research design used in this study (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Comparison between pre-test and post-test artery clearance.

Table 1 Shows that in the pre-test Global blood flow deficiency index, the mean was 48.6 with a standard deviation of 12.3 in the post test the mean value of the overall Global blood flow deficiency index was 22.4 with a standard deviation of 6.1 clearly indicate Global blood flow deficiency index between pre-test and post-test ‘t’ value of 34.5 which is highly significant at P<0.001 level [5,6].

Conclusion

The present study was conducted to assess the efficacy of ozone therapy among the patients of coronary atherosclerosis between the age groups of 31-70 years. A retrospective qualitative research design was used, and the study was conducted in sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital at chrompet.
