Abstract
Introduction: An association involving increased serumcalcium and deviation of blood lipid profiles is suggested byresearch workers but any connection of this association withrisks of increased acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not yetstated. We wish to look at the association of abnormal serumcalcium and lipid levels with occurrence of myocardialinfarction.Methods: A prospective case-control study consists of 50 AMIpatients were diagnosed by cardiologists and 50 apparentlyhealthy individuals entered in the study. Serum calcium, bloodlipid profiles, and anthropometric parameters were assessed inthese study individuals. Student’s t-test was used to comparedifferent values between patients and healthy individuals.Pearson’s correlation coefficient was also used to determinethe positive association between serum calcium, blood lipidprofiles in this study population.Results: Levels of serum calcium and blood lipid profiles inAMI patients were observed significantly higher than healthyindividuals. Furthermore, serum calcium levels showed positivecorrelation with serum cholesterol levels in AMI patients.Conclusions: These findings conclude that increased serumcalcium and abnormal lipid profiles May perhaps a link withincreased risk of AMI.
