“…According to Pitt et al [31], mean lipid levels show little variation within 4 days of a coronary event; however, the investigation of Khawaja et al demonstrated that decreased levels of TG obtained within 24 h of admission were associated with higher long-term all-cause mortality in patients admitted with NSTEMI [32]. Moreover, Henkin et al found a significant decrease in the TG levels of ACS patients within the initial 24 h after admission, suggesting the lipid-lowering effect of heparin in the background [33]. Like the previous studies, most of our samples were taken within 24 h of the admission.…”

“…In order to mitigate this effect, blood samples were extracted within the first 24 hours after the cardiovascular episode if no blood test had been performed previously, since decreased HDL and triglyceride levels are of little relevance during this period. 25,26 Patient were diagnosed as metabolic syndrome if they have three of the following five NCEP: ATP III 2001 criteria; abdominal obesity (Waist circumference >102cm in male and >88cm in female), high triglyceride levels (>150mg/dl), low HDL-C levels (<40mg/dl in male and <50mg/dl in female), elevated fasting blood glucose (>110mg/dl) and high blood pressure (Systolic/diastolic blood pressure >130/85). Data were analyzed and interpreted using the student's t test and the chi-square test.…”

“…However, according to ATP III, a fasting lipoprotein profile obtained during the first 24 hours of hospital admission will produce a value quite close to an individual's actual baseline [41••]. Similarly, a study by Henkin et al [53] suggests that despite the changes in all lipoproteins that occur as early as 6 hours after hospital admission, LDL cholesterol levels during the initial 24 hours after admission can be used to determine which patients will require lipid-lowering medications. In this study, over 90% of patients with LDL cholesterol at or above 125 mg/dL and 100% with LDL cholesterol at or above 150 mg/dL on the morning after admission were candidates for statin therapy after discharge.…”
