STUDY OF LIPID PROFILES IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Aparna Pottepalem, Aruna. P

Abstract :

 Serum lipids and lipoproteins were estimated in 29 patients with acute myocardial infarction during acute phase I , pre discharge and after three months. Serum total lipids, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol showed no significant change during the hospital stay and after three months follow up. HDL-cholesterol , however, started falling from day 2 onwards with statistically significant reduction at pre-discharge and remained so at 3 months. The ratios of TC/ HDLc and LDLc/HDLc showed significant increase on pre discharge day as compared to day 1. Serum triglycerides also showed an increasing trend after myocardial infarction with a significant increase on day 3 and pre discharge as compared to day 1. it is concluded that the optimum time for assessment of serum lipid profile in patients with myocardial infarction seems to be within 1 day of the acute episode.
