Abstract :

The present study deals with the correlation of alcohol consumption and lipid abnormalities in coronary heart disease. The study was carried out on the patients suffering from coronary heart disease who were admitted in the Post Graduate Institute of Medical, Education and Research( PGIMER), Chandigarh. Ninety six patients were taken for the study. The questionnaire method was employed to carry out the survey. The survey provided information regarding the age, sex, marital status, education, occupation and contained CAGE and Brief MAST questionnaire. The biochemical parameters studied were cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL and fasting hyperglycemia in alcoholics and non–alcoholic patients. Results revealed that alcohol even in moderate amounts leads to risk of cardiovascular complication and in larger amount (binge) could precipitate the attack of acute myocardial infarction.
