Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for one third of death, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause. Dyslipidaemiais one of the major contributors increased of CAD risk. This study was aimed to find out the relationship between triglyceride and HDL cholesterol ratio with acute coronary syndrome. This cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Cardiology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital from August 2009 to May 2010. Smoking, hypertension, serum total cholesterol level, serum HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride (TG) level were important variable considered. A total number of 100 respondents consisted of 50 cases (patient) and 50 healthy persons (control). Investigations included ECG, Troponin-I, FBS and lipid profile. The data was analyzed by computer with the help of SPSS; Chi-square test, 't' test, ANOVA test used as test of significance. The mean level in cases of TG 168.2±88.0 vs. HDL 41.3±5.1 in control level TG 141.2±45.3 and HDL 34.2±3.4. TG/HDL ratio cases 4.2±1.7 and control 4.1±1.3. This ratio >4 is atherogenic for CAD. Unadjusted odds ratio TG/HDL ratio level high (>1). In multivariable regression analysis, TG/HDL ratio was strong relation with ACS....Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
