ABSTRACT
Background : Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents a continuum of acute myocardial
ischemia included ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI),
non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable
angina. Thus, ACS included heterogeneous spectrum of conditions that result
in major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In general risk factor
of coronary artery disease are age, male gender, hypertension, smoking,
diabetes mellitus and dyslipedemia.
Objective : 1. to study clinical outcome of dyslipidemia in acute STEMI patients
2. to study of prevalence dyslipidemia in patients with acute STEMI.
Design : Retrospective descriptive study
Patients : The patients who were diagnosed with acuteSTEMI and complete register
Methods : All data in this study from medical record, ACS pathway record, lipid profile
(after NPO), case report form:clinical presentation esp. Killips classification,
heart failure condition, arrhythmia event, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest
event and EKG during 1 January 2009 to 31 March 2011 were collected.
Results : This study included 85 patients (72male) median age was 62 year. The
previous diagnostic of dyslipidemia had about 10 percentage (8case), On the
other hand dyslidemia prevalence from lipid profile had found 6
7 percents (57cases) but no relationship between dyslidemia and increased
risk for heart failure, arrhythmia, worst Killips classification and cardiac arrest.
Conclusions : Therefore clinical outcome of dyslipidemia patients are not increase morbidity
and mortality. But the considerable proportion of patients who developed
acute STEMI have dyslipidemia.
Key words : acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), dyslidemia
