Hypertriglyceridemia as a Risk Factor for Ischemic Heart Disease
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: There has been considerable controversy over whether elevated levels of triglycerides (TGs), or hypertriglyceridemia, are an independent risk factor in coronary heart disease. Aim: This study aims to study the relationship between risk factors for atherosclerosis using triglyceride levels in patients of unstable angina. Methods: In this prospective study, patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-STEMI, or unstable angina were included in the study. Patients undergone fasting lipid profile test. Results: A total of 50 patients, 23 males and 27 females, were included in this study. 68% of patients in high TGs had lower high-density lipoproteins level. 81% of patients in high W–H ratio had increased TGs level. 60% of overweight patients had increased TGs level. 85% of diabetic patients had increased triglyceride level. Conclusion: There is an association between hypertriglyceridemia in ischemic heart disease patients. Hence, assessing TGs are important in ischemic heart diseases.
