Dr Rajeeb Kalita, Dr Vivek Jain

Abstract :

Atherosclerosis is a progressive inflammatory disorder of the arterial wall that is characterized by focal lipid-rich deposits of atheroma. Our aim was to Alterations in the lipid profile of patients of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) in comparison with healthy controls. The mean value of total cholesterol, triglycerides, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) was significantly higher in patients clinically diagnosed for IHD as compared to the healthy control. High density cholesterol (HDL-c) was significantly low in IHD patients.
