To Assess Relationship of Lipoprotein (a) with Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Hospital based Cross-sectional Study
Introduction: Elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein {Lp(a)} have been consistently shown to be a risk factor for the development of a spectrum of thrombotic and atherosclerotic disorders including Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

Zusammenfassung: | Introduction: Elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein {Lp(a)} have been consistently shown to be a risk factor for the development of a spectrum of thrombotic and atherosclerotic disorders including Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Aim: To assess relationship of Lp(a) with severity of CAD in patients of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Materials and Methods: A hospital based, cross-sectional study was conducted at Topiwala National Medical College and B.Y.L. Nair Charitable Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, between November 2016 to April 2018 (18 months). A total of 200 diagnosed cases of AMI who were willing to undergo coronary angiography were enrolled for this study. Prior to coronary angiography, a fasting blood sample was assessed for lipids and Lp(a) levels. The Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score was calculated according to the coronary angiography results. Patients were divided into two groups based on Lp(a) levels: 25 mg/dL and categorised based on CAD severity and SYNTAX scores as low (32). Lp(a) levels were categorised as low (25 mg/dL). A p-value of |
