3. Heart is the human body’s hardest working
organ. Throughout life it continuously pumps
blood enriched with oxygen and vital
nutrients to all tissues of the body. To
perform this task, heart muscle needs a
plentiful supply of oxygen-rich blood through
arteries.
Acute Coronary Syndrome or ACS is a set of
signs and symptoms related to the heart
caused by a decrease in blood flow to the
heart. It often occurs due to Atherosclerosis.

4. A heart attack, or myocardial infarction (MI),
is permanent damage to the heart muscle.
"Myo" means muscle, "cardial" refers to the
heart, and "infarction" means death of tissue
due to lack of blood supply.

5. The medical term of heart attack is
Myocardial infarction.
A heart attack occurs when the blood flow
that brings oxygen to the heart muscle is
severely reduced or cut off completely.
The most common symptom of Acute
Coronary Syndrome is chest pain.
Other symptoms are sweating,
breathlessness, palpitation, discomfort etc.

6. Diabetes Mellitus
Hypertension
Hyperlipidemia: Includes fats, oils, waxes,
triglycerides etc
Metabolic disorders
Smoking history
Lack of exercise
Stress

7. Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS) is clinically
diagnose in patients undergo some fasting
lipid profile test which are as follows-
CK MB Mass
Troponin I
Cholesterol
Triglyceride
LDL Cholesterol
HDL Cholesterol
VLDL Cholesterol

12. A table comparing lipid profile in healthy
control and ACS patients.

Lipid Profile Healthy Control ACS Patients
Cholesterol 144.31 163.47
Triglyceride 106.57 132.16
HDL 37.62 39.93
LDL 86.48 120.33
VLDL 20.07 25.04
13. Results of this analysis shows that total
cholesterol level and triglyceride level in
healthy control and ACS patients are both in
normal range i.e. less than 200 mg/dl and
less than 150 mg/dl. HDL level in both
healthy control and ACS patients is less than
normal range i.e. above 40 mg/dl.LDL level is
normal in case of healthy control i.e. within
100 mg/dl and in case of ACS patient it is
slightly higher than normal range. Level of
VLDL is in normal range in both the cases i.e.
within 5-40 mg/dl.

14. Considering all the results it has been found
that lipid profile in ACS patients is more than
that of healthy control.
Authors named Michael T and Annemarie C also
found the same result.

Editor's Notes
A myocardial Infarction occurs when a plaque slowly builds up in the inner lining of a coronary artery and then suddenly ruptures, totally occluding the artery and preventing blood flow downstream.
