Background: One of the most significant modifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) is dyslipidemia. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) were shown to be a key contributing factor to patients being admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at Sohag University Hospital. Objectives: To analyze lipid profile in patients with ACS who presents at Sohag university hospital, and its clinical and complications pattern. Patiets and methods: This study involved 100 patients above 18 years old diagnosed with ACS. Patients were classified into 3 groups; ST-elevation MI (STEMI), non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA) group. All participants were subjected to history taking, clinical assessment and measuring complete lipid profile values. Results: STEMI group has higher significant total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C (P < 0.001), Triglycerides (TG) (P =0.022), TC/HDL (P =0.027 ) and TG/HDL levels (P = 0.001) and lower significant high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (p=0.006) than other groups. There was a significant correlation between age groups and TC (P<0.001), LDL-c (P=0.009), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c) (P=0.016), HDL (P=0.001), Triglycerides (P=0.008), TC/HDL (P<0.001) and TG/HDL (P=0.040). Furthermore, there was no significant correlation between gender and TC, LDL-c, VLDL, HDL, TG, TC/HDL and TG/HDL (P>0.05). Conclusion:Patients with ACS have a significant prevalence of dyslipidemia as a risk factor. These individuals are more likely to have low HDL than high LDL values; nevertheless, they are more likely to have high TG values than low HDL values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
