Abstract

Aim and objective: To compare fasting and post prandial lipid profile among patients of IHD and healthy individuals. Methodology: This study was conducted to assess, correlate and determine the average differential variation of the fasting and postprandial lipid profile pattern in patients of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) in patients of tertiary care hospital from January 2015 to June 2016. The required data for the study was collected by using predesigned and pretested proforma. The information collected consisted of general epidemiological data, history of present illness, significant past and family history and physical examination findings. Result and Discussion: In our study Fasting levels of triglycerides(170.65 mg/dl), serum VLDL(33.80 mg/dl) and total cholesterol(188.50 mg/dl) in patients of IHD was significantly higher as compared to those in controls (120.59 mg/dl, 23.81 mg/dl,168.87 mg/dl respectively) difference between them was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Fasting serum HDL in IHD patients (42.02 mg/dl) was slightly more as compared to that in controls (41.82 mg/dl) but statistically not significant.
