Association of Serum Concentration of Total Bilirubin and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol with Myocardial Infarction
نویسنده
چکیده
We examined serum bilirubin and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as possible risk factors in 27 patients of myocardial infarction and 50 healthy individuals served as control. An inverse relationship between increase in total bilirubin and serum levels of LDL-C was observed. There is possibility of bilirubin playing a role in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease through LDL-C levels.

Background and objectives: Clinical manifestations of coronary artery disease such as myocardial infarction generally have onset from middle age onwards. However, studies indicate that the atherosclerotic process begins to develop during childhood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of risk factors for atherosclerosis in children with family history of premature myocardial ...

Dyslipidemia appears to be a conventional risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Several studies have reported decreased levels of antioxidants and increased levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IscMA) and lipid peroxides in dyslipidemic myocardial infarct patients. However, literature search reveals no reports of normolipidemic AMI patients with reference to antioxidants and IscMA ...

Background: The serum concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is one of the important heritable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and is a target for therapeutic intervention. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) gene polymorphism rs5923 on LCAT enzyme activity and serum HDL-C concentration. Methods: The study...
