This is a case control study and selection of cases and controls was done by simple random sampling. 600 patients with IHD diagnosed based on the electrocardiograms were chosen from Cardiology Unit, RIMS General Hospital, Kadapa. 600 volunteer blood donor’s age and sex matched with no evidence of any disease were included. Blood group estimation was done by slide agglutination method and secretor status was done by indirect haemagglutination method. The sample size required was taken for convenience.

RESULTS The frequency distribution among IHD patients was maximum in B group (45.6 %) followed by O group (21.6%), A group (19.9%) and AB group (12.7%). Among the cases, 21.5% were secretors and 78.5% were non-secretors and there was a significant association of non-secretors with IHD with Chi-square value of 401.3 and a p-value of 0.00000.
