Abstract :

Background : Siblings of patients coronary artery disease are overlooked in prevention of non communicable diseases like coronary artery disease.

Objectives. To study lipid profile of patients of coronary artery disease and their siblings to identify risk factors among siblings like diabetes, hypertension, smoking, tobacco, alcohol.

Methodology: :– To study the lipid profile and other risk factors in 60 patients of coronary artery disease and their 120 siblings.

Results : Siblings of cases of coronary artery disease have abnormal lipid profile and risk factor like diabetes which is statistically significant when compared with the cases.

Conclusion: We conclude that there is significant abnormal lipid profile and other risk factors among siblings of patients coronary artery disease when compared with the patients.
