International Journal of Pharma and Bio Sciences V1(2)2010 APO B/APOA1 RATIO IS STATISTICALLY THE BEST PREDICTOR OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION COMPARED TO OTHER LIPID RATIOS

چکیده
The aim of our work was to study the predictive value of various lipid ratios in patients with Myocardial Infarction (MI). Study group with 60 patients of documented myocardial infarction and 60 healthy controls were enrolled. Extended lipid profile with Serum Apolipoprotein A and Apolipoprotein B was undertaken for each subject. Lipid ratios of LDL/HDL, TC – HDL/HDL, TG/HDL-C and Apo B/Apo A1were calculated and statistically evaluated to determine the best predictor of MI amongst them. All the above ratios were significantly higher in cases compared to the controls (p<0.0001for all). On multiple regression analysis, the best predictor for MI was Apo B/Apo A1 ratio. The coefficient Beta for ApoB/Apo A1 was 0.691 with t value of 9.916 showing highly significant prediction of MI (p<0.000). Based on our findings we advocate the use of ApoB/Apo A1 ratio in Indian Population for assessing risk of MI.

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...

Introduction: No-reflow increases the complications and mortality rate of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, it is important to identify patients at a higher risk of developing no-reflow. This study aimed to systematically review the prognostic value of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) to predict no-reflow. Materials and Methods:</s...

Background: Lipoprotein abnormalities have been identified among the several risk factors that could account for increases the risk of CVD in diabetes. Abnormal status of B-group and antioxidant vitamins in diabetes may illustrate the benefits of these vitamins supplementation on modification of lipid profiles.

Abstract Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is adisorder of hyperandrogenemia and chronic anovulation which affects 5-10% of all women. It has been reported that women with PCOS often have serum lipid level elevation. This study compares serum lipid levels in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome. Materials and Methods: In this comparative-cross sectional study, lipid profiles (Tota...
