Lipid Abnormalities

Objective: To evaluate the lipid abnormalities in cases with acute myocardial infarction at tertiary care hospital. Material and methods: Between May 2020 to November 2020, total 100 patients of acute myocardial infarction having age 20-40 years of both gender (male/female) were recruited from Department of Cardiology, Sheikh Zayed Medical College/Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan. Lipid abnormalities were evaluated in this study. Results: Total 100 patients with myocardial infarction were selected and lipid abnormalities were evaluated. Age range was 20-40 years with mean age 29.90 ± 6.08 years. In this study total 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction were evaluated for lipid abnormalities. Raised serum total cholesterol was noted in 38 (38%) patients followed by raised serum triglycerides in 47 (47%) patients, raised serum LDL in 26 (26%) patients and decreased serum HDL was seen in 14 (14%) patients. Conclusion: Results of this study showed that raised Triglycerides and Raised Total Cholesterol were most common lipid abnormalities in cases with acute myocardial infarction. Most of the patients were males. Obese patients were more common as compared to non-obese. Keywords: Dyslipidemia, acute myocardial infarction, Non-ST-elevation, ST elevation

Objective: To determine the frequency of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction at tertiary care Hospital. Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Cardiology, Liaquat University Hospital Jamshoro, from July 2019 to January 2020. All the patients those presented with myocardial infarction and either of gender were included in the study. After taking complete clinical examination and diagnosis, patients were interviewed regarding family history, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, dietary habits and life style activities. Non modifiable predisposing risk factors were defined as age, gender and family history. Modifiable risk factors were defined as elevated serum cholesterol, presence of type II DM, cigarette smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and hypertension. All the data was recorded in self-made proforma. Data analysis was done by SPSS version 21 Results: Total 100 patients were studied; most common age group was 41-50 years (45.0%), and 51-60 years (35.0%). According to the types of myocardial infarction, Acute anterior wall MI was in 25.0%, Acute inferior MI was in 20.0%, EXT ANT WALL MI was in 16.0% and Acute inferior +RV MI was in 15.0% of patients. Elevated age in 70.0% and male gender in 69% of cases were found to be most common non-modifiable risk factors, while frequently seen Modifiable risk factors were smoking, type II diabetes, hypercholesteremia, hypertension, and physical activities. Conclusion: It was observed that elevated age, male gender, smoking, diabetes and hypertension are frequent risk factors for ST elevation myocardial infarction.
