Introduction:
CVD is the leading cause of disability anddeath worldwide, and a great majority of CVDs are associatedwith dyslipidemia. Worldwide, there is broad variation inserum lipid profile levels among different population groups.Increased serum levels of TC, TG, LDL, and decreased HDLare known to be associated with major risk factors for CVD.The present study was conducted to assess the lipid levelsamong cases of accelerated hypertension presenting to atertiary healthcare institute.Material andmethods:
This study was done on 96 patientspresented with hypertensive emergencies admitted underdepartment of medicine, KIMS, Karad, from August 2018to December 2018 On admission, detailed history was takenand complete clinical examination was done. It was a hospitalbased cross sectional study.Results:
Serum levels of TC, TG, HDL and LDL were 182±3.4,143.62±6.3, 49.68 and 95.83±7.8 mg/dL, respectively, inhypertensive subjects.Conclusions:
