Lipid levels 24 hours after acute myocardial infarction
Summary:
Introduction: During acute ischemic syndrome the lipid profile changes, resulting decreases in lipid levels.
Purpose of the study: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the lipid levels during the first 24 hours after the onset of acute myocardial infarction.
Material and methods: The sample of the present study includes 90 patients with AMI, who were hospitalized at three CCUs in Athens. Blood tests for lipidemic control was done at the patient's arrival at the hospital and repeated 24 hours later. The statistical tests x2-test and t-test were applied. The level of significance was set to <0.05.
Results: Of the 90 participants with AMI STEMI and NSTEMI, 56 were males. No statistically significant differences were found between STEMI and NSTEMI in relation to gender, age, education, cohesiveness and occupation, p> 0.05. From the statistical test x² test, there were no statistically significant differences between STEMI and NSTEMI. Individuals who received hypolipidemic therapy prior to the infarction presented NSTEMI, p = 0.010. From the t-test to the lipids values of all patients at entry and 24 hours after the infarction, a statistically significant difference was found. In particular, LDL cholesterol levels in the second measurement were found to be statistically significantly lower p < 0.001, whereas HDL cholesterol levels were found to be statistically significantly higher p <0.001, and total cholesterol and triglycerides levels were found to be statistically significantly lower respectively p <0.001. No statistically significant differences in lipid levels were found with respect to the type of STEMI and NSTEMI infestation, p> 0.05
Conclusion: Lipoprotein and lipid levels decrease after the onset of AMI and should be measured within the first 24 hours after symptom onset and form baseline levels on which therapeutic approaches should be considered.
