Abstract

Background: Increased level of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol disturbs the endothelial function that may cause various cardio vascular disease and coronary heart disease. In addition, it can be expected, that hypercholesterolemia may unfavourably influence the course of the acute myocardial infarction. The aim of the study was to check whether patients with lipid levels above normal first 24 hours of myocardial infarction have an unfavorable clinical outcome.Methods: Study was designed on 60 patients (46-men and14-women) of different age groups admitted with myocardial infarction within first 24 hours of onset of symptoms. 20 normal healthy individuals with normal ECG and no family history of coronary heart disease were selected as control. The clinical history and physical examination confirmed the AMI by the cardiac specific enzyme Creatine Kinase (CK) and Creatine Kinase myocardial b fraction (CK-MB), Troponin (T) and ECG.  Blood samples were taken within 24 hours of acute myocardial infarction. Serum concentration of TC, TG, HDL-C were estimated by semi auto analyser. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was done to evaluate the association between the mean values of serum samples and clinical outcome. A probability value p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Result: In the control group, the means of TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and VLDL-C were found to be 172.2 mg/dl, 147.6 mg/dl, 45.52, 97.16 mg/dl and 29.52 mg/dl respectively. In the present case study, the mean TC was 208.53 mg/dl, mean TG was 168.73, mean HDL-C was 41.65 mg/dl, mean LDL-C was 133.13 mg/dl and mean VLDL-C was 33.74 mg/dl.Conclusion: We found that the occurrence of disease is more in male patient than the female and the male/female ratio was 3.28:1. The patients above the age of 60 years were more prone to develop myocardial infarction and the major risk factors were smoking, hypertension and diabetes. It has also been observed that most of the patients had high level of LDL-cholesterol and low level of HDL-cholesterol within 24 hours onset of myocardial infarction.DOI:10.21276/AABS.1677
