Abstract
The present study was conducted to know the relation of myocardial infarction with its risk factors and to prevent future cardiac events. [b]MATERIAL AND METHODS[/b]: 60 cases of myocardial infarction were selected along with 60 age and sex matched healthy controls. Body mass index, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and lipid profile were measured. [b]STATISTICAL[/b] [b]ANALYSIS[/b]: All values were expressed as Mean +/- SD. The results obtained were analyzed statistically using the unpaired student âtâ test to evaluate the significance of difference between the mean values. [b]RESULTS[/b]: The values of body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, total triglycerides and low density lipoprotein cholesterol were increased whereas high density lipoprotein cholesterol was decreased in the patients of myocardial infarction. [b]CONCLUSION[/b]: On the basis of our results, it may be concluded that risk factors increase incidence of myocardial infarction
