Abstract
Introduction: Hypertriglyceridemia is recognized as a high-risk factor for coronary artery disease. It remains unclear whether fasting or postprandial hypertriglyceridemia is more informative for predicting the risk of coronary artery disease. Recent studies recommended postprandial Hypertriglyceridemia as a useful predictor of cardiovascular disease risk. This study was conducted to find the correlation between postprandial Hypertriglyceridemia in patients with coronary artery disease. Materials and Methods: This was an observational study on 100 patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease from 14/10/2017 to 10/09/2018. In patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease based on ECG changes or TMT, changes were included in the study. Fasting lipid profile, FBS, and 2-hour postprandial Triglyceride were done. All statistical data were analyzed using frequency, percentages, and ratios. A chi-square test is used to study the associations among different variables. Results: Among the 100 cases included in the study, 68 were males, and 32 were females. Postprandial Hypertriglyceridemia was found in 71% of patients, 48% had high BMI, 80% of Patients had high Waist Hip ratio, and 64 % of patients had diabetes mellitus. There is a statistically significant correlation between postprandial Triglyceride and coronary artery disease with a relative risk of 1.45.
