Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular disease is regarded as a multifactorial disease, which affected by the environment and genetic factors. A growing evidences indicates that elevated concentrations of TG, TC, LDL-C and decreased HDL-C accelerate the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Hence; we planned the present study to assess the levels of mean serum lipid profile in AMI patients.
Materials & Methods: The present study included assessment of serum lipid profile in AMI patients. A total of 20 AMI patients and 20 aged matched controls were included in the present study. After overnight fasting, venous blood was collected from all the subjects in serum separator Vaccutainer tubes. We evaluated the levels of serum total cholesterol and serum triglycerides by using an Autoanalyzer. All the data were recorded on excel sheet. SPSSs software was used for the assessment of level of significance.
Results: A total of 20 AMI patients and 20 normal were included in the present study. Significant results were obtained while comparing the mean TC levels and HDL levels in patients of the AMI group and control group.
Conclusion: Risk of AMI is not prevented by reduction in the mean serum cholesterol levels.
