Assessment of Plasma Lipid Profile Levels among Sudanese Patients with Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

his study was done to assess the levels of lipid profile in myocardial infarction patient. It was descriptive cross sectional study dur ing the period from May to August - 2014 in Alshaab Hospital and Almoda Medical Center total 100 samples were collected (50samples as test group from myocardial infarction patients and 50samples as normal control to measure lipid profile levels by enzymatic method. The study showed that significant difference of plasma lipid profile levels in test group of myocardial infarction patients when compared to the control group cholesterol (M ± SD) (336±142), triglycerides (M ± SD) (313±194), LDL (M±SD) (86±42.4), HDL (M±SD) (59±48), (P.v=0.00), (P.v=0.00) , (P.v=0.035) , (P.v=0.00) respectively This study indicate that the cholesterol , triglyceride and LDL levels elevated in male (M ±SD)(476±140,370±133,243±88) respectively more than female (M ± SD)(346±150,46±133 ,129±85),(PV=0.046),(PV0.014),(PV=0.052) respectively, but there is insignificant difference in HDL between male (mean ± standard deviation)(77±52) and female (mean ± standard deviation)(79±13),(P.v=0.221) and the age also was affected on cholesterol, trig lyceride and LDL levels (P.v=0.001),(P.v=0.037) (P.v=0.001) but HDL was not affected (P.v=0.322) respectively. Also the duration of disease was not affect the level of plasma triglycerides and HDL levels (P.v=0.469),(P.v0.937) (P.v=0.715) but was affect o n cholesterol, LDL (P.v=0.039), (P.v=0.019). The result showed that there was insignificant difference in the mean of lipid profile (cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL, HDL) in patients with myocardial infarction with other complication like diabetes mell itus and renal insufficiency when compared that patients without complication, but hypertension affect on result.
