Comparison of lipid profiles between MI patients and controls.
| Parameters | Controls (Mean ± SD) | Patients (mean ± SD) | t value | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TCL (mg/dl) | 168.3 ± 24.0 | 239.8 ± 29.0 | 27.3 | 0.0001 |
| TGL (mg/dl) | 137.8 ± 1.5 | 177.3 ± 11.6 | 48.9 | 0.0001 |
| LDL (mg/dl) | 98.5 ± 11.9 | 173.6 ± 28.4 | 35.2 | 0.0001 |
| HDL (mg/dl) | 42.3 ± 5.3 | 33.8 ± 3.6 | 18.3 | 0.0001 |
| VLDL (mg/dl) | 27.3 ± 1.3 | 36.6 ± 1.9 | 58.1 | 0.0001 |
Values represent mean ± standard deviation. MI = myocardial infarction; TCL = total cholesterol; TGL = triglycerides; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; VLDL = very-low-density lipoprotein.
