RESUMO
Measurement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol during acute myocardial infarction in nonfasting patients on initial presentation to an emergency room by any of 3 methods (ultracentrifugation, immunoseparation, or the Friedewald estimate), identifies patients eligible for antilipemic interventions. Although slightly less sensitive, the conventional Friedewald estimate of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels provides clinicians good correlation with ultracentrifugation.
