| Popis: | Background Acute myocardial infarction is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, more so in Indians. Aim To establish the hypothesis that cholesterol level affects the short term prognosis of acute myocardial infarction. Method One hundred patients with acute myocardial infarction attending a rural tertiary care hospital were selected randomly and assessed for complications their lipid profiles were measured and mean values calculated and compared for complicated and uncomplicated groups. Results In the group without complications 79.1% had total cholesterol 250 mg/dl and 75.76% had non-HDL cholesterol >160 mg/dl. The mean non-HDLC values for the two groups were 124 ± 10 and 189 ± 8 respectively ( p = 0.08373). Conclusions The study shows strong relation between the short term prognosis of acute myocardial infarction and baseline cholesterol values, especially non-HDL cholesterol. |
