Serum Lipoprotein (a) Concentration Is a Better Predictor of Myocardial Infarction than Traditional Lipid Profile and Lipid Ratios
BackgroundLipoprotein (a) is a variant form of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) which comprises of an LDL like particle in which apo B-100 is firmly linked to apo-a glycoprotein. A large number of genetic and epidemiologic studies have identified Lipoprotein(a) as a risk factor for atherosclerotic diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke. Based on our knowledge, this is the first study c...
متن کاملApolipoproteins and Serum Lipid Profile in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Acute Myocardial Infarction [AMI] is now a common disease with serious consequences in mortality and morbidity. Altered lipid profile with low HDL-C and high LDL-C and TGs has been implicated in coronary atherosclerosis. Recently it has been shown that measurement of Apoliopoproteins was superior to LDL-C and HDL-C in risk and prognosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction. We measured the Levels of ...
متن کاملCorrelation between Serum T3 Resin Uptake and Serum Lipid Profile
Abstract Background and Objective: T3 resin uptake test indicates the availability of thyroxin binding globulin (TBG), which is the carrier of a large amount of T3 and T4 in blood. We aimed to study the relationship between serum T3 Resin Uptake and serum lipids profile. Material and Methods: The participants aged 14.80 ± 38.29 were both males (59 29.5%) and females (141 70.5 %). T3 Resi...
متن کاملTotal Knee Replacement Sizing: Shoe Size Is a Better Predictor for Implant Size than Body Height
Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...
متن کاملAssociation between Acute Myocardial Infarction, Lipid Profile and Smoking Habit
Background: Myocardial Infarction is the most common form of heart disease and the single most important cause of death in the developed and developing world. Myocardial infarction is the irreversible necrosis of heart muscle secondary to prolonged ischemia. The death of heart muscle from the sudden blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe ...
