Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
Non communicable chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension and cardio vascular diseases are increasing among the adult population all over the world. In India there is increased susceptibility to diabetes mellitus and these patients are at increased risk to develop coronary heart disease (CHD). Hypertension is also one of the major cause for myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure and cerebrovascular accidents. Dyslipedimia is one of the strong risk factor for CHD. Among the dyslipidemia, lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] is strongly associated with myocardial infarction and it is genetically linked also. In this study serum Lp (a) level was compared in 50 young adults with family history of hypertension /diabetes mellitus (group 1) and 50 young adults without family history of hypertension /diabetes mellitus (group 2). Result: Lp(a) level was significantly elevated(p value = 0.000) in group 1 subjects when compared to group 2. Conclusion: This present study indicates the importance of lipoprotein (a) estimation and follow up study to identify the risk of dyslipidemia and development of CHD in our population.
