Objective: To find out the frequency of hypoalbuminemia and mortality rate in cases of acute ischemic stroke. Material and methods: Between April 2020 to October 2020, total 180 patients of acute ischemic stroke, age between 40-60 years of both gender were selected from Department of Medicine, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. Type of study was cross sectional. Hypoalbuminemia and mortality rate was assessed. Results: In present study, mean age of the patients was 49.78 ± 4.43 years. Out of 180 patients of acute ischemic stroke, hypoalbuminemia was found in 68 (38%) patients. Mortality rate was 10 (26%) and rest of the patients were alive. Hypoalbuminemia was found in 28 (28.28%) patients and 40 (49.38%) patients respectively in age groups 40-50 years and 51-60 years. Association of hypoalbuminemia with age group was significant (P = 0.005). Conclusion: Results of this study showed a higher rate of hypoalbuminemia and mortality in cases of acute ischemic stroke. Hypoalbuminemia was more common in 5th decade and significant association of hypoalbuminemia with age was noted. Most of the stroke patients were male and hypoalbuminemia was also common in male patients. Significant association of hypoalbuminemia with diabetes mellitus was observed.

Objective: To evaluate the lipid abnormalities in cases with acute myocardial infarction at tertiary care hospital. Material and methods: Between May 2020 to November 2020, total 100 patients of acute myocardial infarction having age 20-40 years of both gender (male/female) were recruited from Department of Cardiology, Sheikh Zayed Medical College/Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan. Lipid abnormalities were evaluated in this study. Results: Total 100 patients with myocardial infarction were selected and lipid abnormalities were evaluated. Age range was 20-40 years with mean age 29.90 ± 6.08 years. In this study total 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction were evaluated for lipid abnormalities. Raised serum total cholesterol was noted in 38 (38%) patients followed by raised serum triglycerides in 47 (47%) patients, raised serum LDL in 26 (26%) patients and decreased serum HDL was seen in 14 (14%) patients. Conclusion: Results of this study showed that raised Triglycerides and Raised Total Cholesterol were most common lipid abnormalities in cases with acute myocardial infarction. Most of the patients were males. Obese patients were more common as compared to non-obese. Keywords: Dyslipidemia, acute myocardial infarction, Non-ST-elevation, ST elevation
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
