Rehmat Ali Memorial Teaching Hospital, Lahore and Khairpur Medical College Hospital, Khairpur from 1st January 2016 to 30th June 2016. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess anxiety and depression. Results: Mean age of the patients was 45.6±7.4 years. Anxiety was noted in 155 (77.5%) patients and depression was noted in 126(63%) patients. Insignificant (P = 0.4159, 0.6292) association of anxiety and depression with gender was noted.

In this study, we aim to determine the correlation of lipid values with AMI. Materials and methods This case-control study was conducted from 1 February 2019 to 30 October 2019 in a tertiary care hospital in Sukkur, Pakistan. There were a total of 421 participants divided into two groups; Case Group (patients with AMI, n=212) and Control Group (patients without AMI, n=209). Results Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were significantly higher in patients with AMI and HDL was lower. There was no significant difference between triglycerides in both groups. Conclusion Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for AMI. There is a need for more large scale multi-center studies to further understand the role of lipid profile in AMI and the various factors that influence it. Categories: Cardiology, Internal Medicine Keywords: acute myocardial infarction (ami), lipid profile, pakistan Introduction Received 12/19/2019 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of mortality and morbidity globally in both males and Review began 12/22/2019 females [1].
