Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyzed the ACS (acute coronary syndrome) patients of 738 conducted in Bangladesh and their age and sex adjusted control subjects. Overall low HDL prevalence was found in about 52% of these ACS patients (male 44.7% vs. female 74.3%). The prevalence of low HDL in ACS patients did not differ in rural and urban Bangladesh. Prevalence of low HDL among STEMI (Total-51.0%, Male-46.9%, Female-72.6%); among non-STEMI (Total-48.8%, Male-39.4%, Female-87.5%); among unstable angina (Total-52.0%, M-40.9%, F-72.9%) of sub groups of ACS patients. From these data, it is obviously clear that low HDL prevalence is highly dominated in female ACS patients in Bangladesh. Mean level of cardiac troponin in low HDL ACS patient vs. normal HDL ACS subject was 26.6 ng/ml vs. 14.7 ng/ml (p=0.001). The ACS patients who had previous history of angina the prevalence of low HDL was 39.02%, in contrast ACS patients having previous history of myocardial infarction was 25%
