CORONARY HEART DISEASE;

Abstract

Objective: This study was done to find any correlation among total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol estimated in serum of offsprings of coronary heart disease patients. Study Design: A cross sectional comparative study. Patients and Methods: Two hundred and fifty (250) subjects having parents with coronary heart disease were selected from Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore. The serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol were estimated. Coefficient of variation was calculated to find whether observations in one series vary correspondingly with observations in another series. Results: Highly significant positive correlation was found between total cholesterol and triglycerides, and, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Highly significant negative correlation was found between low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Correlation between TG and LDL-c was also significant. Conclusions: Serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol have strong association with one and other. For prediction, prevention and management of coronary heart disease it is important to estimate and observe the correlation among these parameters.
