    Serum lipid levels, including HDL cholesterol, significantly decrease after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Reliable cardiovascular risk assessment requires measuring these levels upon hospital admission, not at discharge.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Biochemistry
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a critical cardiovascular event.
    • Serum lipid profiles, including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, are key indicators of cardiovascular risk.
    • Understanding lipid level dynamics post-AMI is crucial for accurate risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the changes in serum lipid concentrations (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) in patients following AMI.
    • To determine the optimal timing for serum lipid measurements in AMI patients for reliable cardiovascular risk factor estimation.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum samples were collected from 57 AMI patients at admission, seven days, and four months post-infarction.
    • Concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides were measured.

  • Statistical analysis was performed to assess changes, correlations with infarction size, and temporal trends.

    • Main Results:

    • Serum total cholesterol decreased by 24% and HDL cholesterol by 31% within seven days post-AMI.
    • The HDL/total cholesterol ratio significantly decreased.
    • Triglyceride levels decreased by 31% within seven days, with high individual variability.
    • Lipid levels returned to baseline four months post-AMI.
    • Lipid changes correlated with infarction size, except for triglycerides.

    Conclusions:

    • Serum lipid levels, particularly HDL cholesterol, fluctuate significantly in the early phase after AMI.
    • Measurements taken at hospital discharge may not accurately reflect baseline cardiovascular risk.
    • Accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk factors in AMI patients necessitates lipid level determination upon hospital admission.
