Association of Blood Lipids, Non-HDL-Cholesterol and Lipid Ratios with Early Onset Myocardial Infarction in a Bangladeshi Population

摘要

Objective- To explore the status of blood Lipids, non-HDL-Cholesterol and Lipid Ratios in early onset Myocardial Infarction in a Bangladeshi population. Design- A case control study involving 50 early onset Myocardial Infarction patients as cases (age 60 years). It was carried out from January 2006 to December 2007 in the Department of Biochemistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Results- Serum Total cholesterol, Triacylglycerol and TAG/TC ratio found significantly raised in cases compared to controls; but with respect to Low Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C), High Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol(HDL-C), non-HDL-C, TC/HDL-C ratio, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio cases & controls found to be identical. Conclusion - Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridaemia are associated with early onset Myocardial infarction. doi: 10.3329/jom.v10i2.2819 J MEDICINE 2009; 10 : 82-85
