Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main source of death around the world, which has turned into an overall general medical condition. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a typical clinical basic disease. Objective: The basic aim of the study is to analyse the low high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels as a major risk factor of acute myocardial infarction in Pakistan.

The data was collected from 100 patients of both genders. Results: The mean age was 45±5.46 years. The extent of male subjects was higher in bunches with high Triglycerides (TG) levels, while the distinction in age was not measurably critical. Conclusion: It is concluded that low HDL level is noted to be present in a high percentage of acute myocardial infarction patients and can be a major risk contributor to old age patients.
