ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Dyslipidemia refers to the presence of abnormalities in lipid parameters. It has become a global issue with a high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The aim of the investigation was to find out the pattern and prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

METHODOLOGY:

A cross-sectional study design was used. Data were collected using convenient sampling from 101 patients presenting with ACS, admitted at the critical care unit (CCU) / Rasheeda Begum Cardiac Centre (RBCC) of Shalamar Hospital, during a 12-month period from January 2020 to December 2021. Dyslipidemia is diagnosed by testing the lipid profile when there are one or more abnormal readings of the lipid profile.

RESULTS:

Nearly 43 (42.6%) had ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 27 (26.7%) had non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and 31 (30.7%) were categorized as unstable angina (USA). Overall dyslipidemia was present in 84 (83.2%) patients. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 55 (65%) in male patients and 29 (34.5%) in female patients. Dyslipidemia was present in 39 (90.7%) patients with STEMI, 25 (80.6%) in the USA, and 20 (74.1%) with NSTEMI.

CONCLUSION:

The prevalence of dyslipidemia was quite high among ACS patients. The proportion of obese patients was also high in our study. However, dyslipidemia was more frequent in overweight patients.
