Significance of lipid profile estimation in patient with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT

Acute myocardial infarction is one of the important reasons of death and unhealthiness in the world. The present study was undertaken to investigate the changes in serum lipids and lipoproteins in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The levels of lipid profile were significantly changed in the acute myocardial infarction patients. Acute myocardial infarction patients had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TG, Lipoprotein and lower level of HDL-cholesterol, as compared to the control subjects. We found a significant association of lipid profiles with acute myocardial infarction. Reduced serum HDL-cholesterol and increased Serum LDL, Serum TG, Lipoprotein (a), in our study subjects may be the effective reasonable lipid disorders in AMI patients.
