ute myocardial Infarction is one of the major causes of morbidity & mortality in world and atherosclerosis is the major cause of ischemic heart disease. In order to determine the better clinical marker of atherosclerosis, we estimated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Hundred patients of myocardial infarction and 100 controls irrespective of age and sex were studied for these parameters over a period of 2 years. The statistical analysis showed that the serum hsCRP was significantly raised in myocardial infarction cases than controls ( P < 0.01) but LDL-C was not ( P > 0.05). We conclude that the serum hsCRP has better predictive value for risk of atherosclerosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
