Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Hypertension is a major risk factor for CVD and account for more than 80% of deaths. Increased total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and decreased HDL are risk factors in CVD patients. As various types of cardiac diseases are differentially changes the metabolic patterns, hence the current study was undertaken to evaluate serum lipid profile of the patients suffering from various cardiac diseases.
Cross-sectional study conducted on 278 CVD patients. Anthropometric, physiological and lipid profile parameters were recorded by using standard techniques. Statistical analyses were done by using SPSS software version 23.0.
SBP, DBP, MAP and PP show a significant increase in hypertensive heart disease, myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease as compared to other groups. Serum triglycerides, cholesterol and LDL were found to be statistically significant among hypertensive heart disease, myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease groups.
Results from present study revealed that there were serious changes in cardiovascular physiological parameters and lipid profile parameters among various types of CVD.
Results concluded that cardiovascular risk factors like blood pressure and lipid profiles are closely associated with each other and these risk factors are very specific in manifestation of different types of CVD especially linked with cardiovascular stress.
