Objective: Comparative study of lipids in smoker and non-smoker myocardial infarction (MI), patients.
Methods: Total cholesterol determined by diagnostic kit, that is, enzymatic CHOD-PAP, endpoint colorimetric method. Absorbance was measured at 506 nm by kinetic ultraviolet spectrophotometer which was proportional to the cholesterol concentration in the specimens.
Results: There were 41.46% of patients who were smokers with high total cholesterol (>200 mg/dL). The total cholesterol was found to be statistically significant when smokers and non-smokers were compared in different age groups (p<0.05) in urban, rural, and slum populations of Madhya Pradesh.
Conclusion: This prospective study of 2006 smoking emerged as a significant modifiable risk factor in MI patients.
