OBJECTIVE: To identify frequency of the following markers of atherosclerosis risk: high C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and ratio between serum levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) and to determine the association of high serum CRP levels and LDL:HDL in the patients presenting at NICVD with first myocardial infarction. METHODS: This case control study was conducted at National Institute for Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD), in Karachi, comprising of 50 male patients of acute myocardial infarction (without any other co-morbidity) and 50 matching controls. RESULTS: In this study, CRP levels were significantly high (p = 0.003) and serum HDL levels significantly low (p = 0.006) in patients as compared to controls. Serum LDL levels and the ratio of LDL and HDL were not significantly different among the two groups. CONCLUSION: High serum CRP levels rather than high LDL:HDL are associated with myocardial infarction in the patients presenting at NICVD with first myocardial infarction. |
