Background And Aims: To assess the 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among Thai physicians. The risk compared to the general population and their relationship with the current coronary artery disease (CAD) were also examined.
Methods: This retrospective study collected data of Thai physicians who underwent cardiovascular assessments between February 14, 2022, and October 31, 2022.
Background: Physicians, due to their work and lifestyle patterns, can be at risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MetS among physicians and its association with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study collected data on Thai physicians who had medical examination including cardiovascular testing from 14 February to 31 October 2022, in our hospital.
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are major global health problem and are the third leading cause of death in the world. Most studies found the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were correlated with myocardial infarction and heart failure. Previous studies reported a higher risk of CVD among physicians but no study concerns NLR and the PLR to predict coronary artery disease (CAD) among the physicians.

Methods: Data of Thai physicians who participated in the hospital's corporate social responsibility "Save Doctors' Heart" project conducted between February 14, 2022, and October 31, 2022, were collected: personal illness, family history of CAD, workplace, work hours, dietary habits, exercise, stress, body mass index, laboratory and cardiac testing.
