Abstract
The goal of the present study was to address the various risk factors associated in normolipidemic acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients admitted to the intensive coronary care unit (ICCU). The study compared serum lipid profiles, lipid peroxidation markers, antioxidants and inflammatory markers in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and age/sex-matched controls. The risk variables were analysed age wise with patients 60 years of age.A lipid profile, lipid peroxidation, enzyme antioxidants, endogenous antioxidants, ischemia modified-albumin (IscMA), ceruloplasmin, C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, lipoprotein (a) and paraoxonase-1 activities were analyzed in 165 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients of which 45 patients were 60 years age of acute myocardial infarction patients. Higher levels of C-reactive protein (p=0.003) were observed among the >60 years age patients compared to <60 years. Other biochemical findings were not statistically significant.During the process of aging the risk factors vary as lowering of antioxidants is due to decreased free radical scavenging properties.
