Abstract
Risk of coronary heart disease and other forms of atherosclerotic vascular diseases, rises with
plasma cholesterol concentration and in particular with the rise of ratio of total cholesterol to
high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) cholesterol. A much weaker correlation also exists with
plasma triglyceride concentration. Extensive large-scale randomized trials have shown that
lowering total cholesterol and LDL-C concentrations reduces the risk of cardiovascular events
including death, myocardial infarction and stroke and reduces the need for
revascularisation.This cross-sectional analytical study was designed to observe association
between lipid profile level with chronic ischaemic heart disease and the study was conducted in
the Department of Biochemistry, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2011.
A total of 50 cases were selected purposively according to the selection criteria from the
patients admitted in the Department of Cardiology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital with
chronic ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Diagnosed IHD patients were taken as cases and 50 age-
& sex- matched healthy subjects were taken as controls. Serum TC, TG, LDL-C & HDL-C
were measured in all study subjects.The mean±SD of serum TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C
concentration in cases were 314.54±73.72 mg/dl, 288.04±60.45 mg/dl, 36.02±4.12 mg/dl,
and 178.62±22.7 mg/dl respectively and in controls were 174.64±18.97 mg/dl, 119.42±12.47
mg/dl, 43.04±2.58 mg/dl & 126.28±11.45 mg/dl respectively. Serum Total Cholesterol, TG
& LDL-C were found to be significantly higher in cases than that of controls. Serum HDL-C
was found to be significantly lower in cases than that of controls. The present study reveals that
the patients with chronic ischemic heart disease is accociated with significantly higher levels of
serum TC, TG and LDL-C whereas HDL-C was found to be lower in IHD patients.
