    Abstract

    Aggressive management of the risk factors is one of the crucial elements in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. Serum markers that are used for Cholesterol risk assessment and management are total cholesterol, low density ipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level. Hundred patients who were admitted with a confirmed diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction were enrolled in the study. The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was made if patients had ischemic type chest pain for 2:30 minutes with evidence of ST-segment elevation of 2:1mm in two anatomically contiguous leads on the ECG or the appearance of a new left bundle branch block. The ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDUHDL ratios) on day-1 post myocardial infarction and day-4 post myocardial infarction were 2.710 and 2.690 respectively. The ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDUHDL ratios) on day-1 post myocardial infarction and day-4 post myocardial infarction were 2.710 and 2.690 respectively.
