Lipid Profile Pattern In Anginal Syndrome In Patients From Marathwada Region Of Maharashtra State

ABSTRACT The disorder in lipid profile is one of the major risk factor for the progression of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Increased serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) level and decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL) are associated major risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD). The present study, was aimed to study the lipid profile pattern in angina syndrome in patients from Marathwada region of Maharashtra state. The mean ± SD (mg/dl) level of serum total cholesterol level was significantly elevated in myocardial infarction (p < 0.001) as compared to the controls. There was no significant change of serum cholesterol level in chronic stable IHD patients (p > 0.05) as compared to the control. HDL cholesterol level was significantly decreased in myocardial infarction (p < 0.05) as compared to the controls but no significant change of HDL cholesterol level in chronic stable IHD patients (p >0.05) is observed as compared to the control. Serum triglyceride levels were significantly elevated in MI and chronic stable IHD patients (p < 0.001) as compared to the controls. The study of lipid profile is primarily important and disordered lipid profile is one of the important risk factor in the development of angina syndrome.
