Study of Serum Lipid Profile Level in Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Lipid disorder often leads to myocardial infarction and heart failure. This study was undertaken to assess the serum lipid profile level in coronary artery disease patients. Materials and Methods: 100 subjects aged between 30 to 65years, comprising of 50 normal control and 50 patients suffering from CAD were studied. Result: The observed mean total cholesterol level in CAD patients was 262.92 ± 41.67mg/dl and that of control group was 172.92 ± 20.61mg/dl, which was highly significant (p<0.001). HDL-cholesterol was found to be significantly low in CAD group as compared to control (p<0.05). Conclusion: The early detection of abnormal lipid profile and its proper management by life-style modification and by drugs, if needed may play a key role in preventing the progression of atherosclerotic process in coronary artery disease.
