Abstract
Background: Adverse lipid profile has been recognized as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials and Methods: 100 subjects aged between 35 to 65 years, comprising of 50 normal control and 50 patients suffering from CAD were studied. Result: The mean total cholesterol level was found to be 174.2±21.05 mg/dl with a range of 150-200 mg/dl present in normal subjects and mean concentration of cholesterol level was increased to 254.23±45.70 mg/dl in CAD patients. The mean Triglyceride level was found to be 117.58±44.16 mg/dl with a range of 75-150 mg/dl present in normal subjects and mean concentration of Triglyceride level was increased to 184.24±42.02 mg/dl in CAD patients. Conclusion: This cross sectional study showed that high serum cholesterol, LDL, triglyceride and low HDL cholesterol were clinically significant in all the age groups. Keywords: Coronary artery disease (CAD), Cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL, HDL.
