Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Smoking is an important risk factor for COPD and Cardiovascular disease. Smoking affects lipid prole by oxidative pathway. The anti inammatory properties of statins and utility in treatment of COPD is uncertain. AIMS: To study the lipid prole parameters(TG,LDL,VLDL,HDL) in COPD among smokers and non smokers ,effectiveness of statins on pulmonary function test in COPD patients. METHODS: Based on severity of COPD serum TC , TG, LDL,VLDL ,HDL was measured .Patient with abnormal lipid prole and COPD were given a trail of statin therapy for three months.PFT were performed before and after the statin trial. RESULTS: Out of sixty patients smoking history seen in fty patients ,have a positive correlation with abnormal lipid prole, results of COPD severity and abnormality lipid prole was not signicant. Statin therapy showed improvement in pulmonary function tests.
