Assessment of Serum Lipid Profile in Sudanese Patients with Heart Diseases

Abstract

This study done to determine serum lipids profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-c and HDL-c ) in Sudanese patient with heart diseases in comparison to apperantly health volunteers . The serum levels of lipid profile were measured in (60) patient with heart disease and (40) healthy volunteers in period from march to july by using Mindray chemistry analyzer and commercial kits from Mindary company. The result of this study showed the mean of the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL –c and body mass index of the test group were significantly increased when compared to control group (p = 0.000), and the mean of the serum levels of HDL-c of the test group were significantly decreased when compared to control group (p = 0.000); also study showed strong positive correlation between the weight with serum total cholesterol and serum triglyceride of the test group (p = 0.036 , p = 0.000 ).And found strong negative correlation between the weight and HDL-c in test group (p = 0.004). Study conducted that there are significantly increase in serum levels of total cholesterol,serum triglyceride and serum LDL- c, and significant decrease in HDL- c in heart disease patients .
