Abstract
Dyslipidemia is a determinant for the outcome of myocardial infarction (MI). The pattern of dyslipidemia mainly reflects the mean age and mortality rates of patients with hospitalized MI. This study was carried out to analyze the trends in the serum lipid levels, mean age and fatality in the south of Iran during the six years (2008-2014). This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 at the Shahid Mohammadi hospital of Bandar Abbas, Iran. All case records of patients (with 18 years old or more) admitted to the hospital between March 2008 and March 2014 (six complete Iranian calendar year) with a principal diagnosis of MI were included. Sample size of this study was calculated and 147 case records were selected by simple random sampling method. A two part checklist was used, part one for demographic characteristics and part two for special information including blood pressure at admission, HDL, LDL, TG and Cholesterol. The prevalences of abnormal values for HDL, LDL, TG, Cholesterol, blood pressure at admission and case fatality were 46.1%, 56.52%, 43.48%, 46.96%, 69.6% and 21.74%, respectively. There are two significant associations between fatality of MI and TG during 2008 to 2010 (P = 0.021) and also between the case fatality of MI and LDL during 2010 until 2014 (P = 0.043). Hypertension was independent from the other variables and also no oriented trends were observed in the mean ages of hospitalized patients with MI in this project. The managements and prevention strategies used to manage lipid profile, fatality and incidence of MI in patients, were not successful in recent years.
