Abstract:
The current study has been performed to evaluate the relationship of dyslipidemia in coronary heart diseases on 113 males above age of twenty from Karachi Institute of Heart Diseases. Lipid profile is a traditional biomarker for CHD. The mean ± SD (mg/dl) levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TGs) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were found high while low level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were observed. The analysis of data provides an opportunity to study the lipid profile and their association in developing cardio vascular diseases. High concentration of cholesterol, LDL-C, TGs and low concentration of HDL-C indicate strong indication of CHD in individual in future life.
