Abstract :

AIMS and OBJECTIVES To determine the correlation of Troponin–I levels and fasting lipid profile in patients with acute coronary syndrome. METHODOLOGY A retrospective study was conducted on 67 patients with acute coronary syndrome and Troponin–I levels at the time of admission were recorded and those with a rise of 99th percentile were included. Simultaneous fasting lipid profile was also recorded and was correlated with Troponin–I levels using Pearson‘s index and P value. RESULTS It was found that level of triglycerides shows positive correlation to the level of troponin I level with a P–value of 0.023, Pearson‘s correlation of 0.283. We found a negative correlation of troponin I level with HDL level, with Pearson‘s correlation of –0.056, in patients with acute coronary syndrome. CONCLUSION There is a weak, positive correlation of serum triglycerides and a weak negative correlation of HDL of fasting lipid profile with level of troponin I in patients with ACS.
