Relationship between HDL-Cholesterol and Angiographic Severity of Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

Abstract:Background: Dyslipidaemias is one of the major risk factor for Coronary artery diseases (CAD).There is an inverse correlation between high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and the risk of coronary artery disease. Understanding the angiographic characteristics of coronary artery diseases (CAD) in low and normal HDL-C patients and its association with severity of CAD is very important for future intervention. Although highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is well established predictor of future cardiovascular event, little information is available regarding its correlation with the prevalence and severity of angiographically evaluated coronary artery diseases (CAD). Conclusion: It may be concluded that low HDL-C level is associated with angiographically more severe coronary artery diseases reflected by vessels score and Friesinger score as compared to normal or high HDL-C level.

Triglyceride to High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio in Acute Myocardial Infarction And Its Relationship with Angiographic Severity

“…Major CAD risk factors were noted to be very prevalent the present study, which is similar to previous published data evaluating the prevalence of these risk factors in Bangladesh. [18][19] The present study demonstrated that, among the lipid sub fractions most prevalent lipid abnormality was high LDL-C present (81.7%), followed by high TG (72.8%), low HDL-C (56.7%) and high TC (35.7%). Several studies have reported varying prevalence and type of dyslipidemia.…”
