Author(s): Askar Faiza* and Alaghbari Khaled
Background: Total and Low-density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration is associated with coronary artery disease. However High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) has not always been evaluated.
Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and related factors of low High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) levels among patients with acute coronary syndrome presented to Kuwait University Hospital.
Method: Data was collected retrospectively from 130 patients admitted with a diagnosis of ACS during study period. A low HDL-C was defined as level <40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) for males and <50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) for female and satisfactory HDL is defined as a level >40 mg/dL & >50 mg/dL for females. All possible predictors of low h... view more»
