You are referred as 49yrs old man from the Asante Akyem South District specifically Juaso for an-ongoing care after having suffered an Acute Myocardial Infarction. The results from the cardiologist states the patient is apparently not hypercholesterolaemic but is somewhat obese and his father died of a ‘’heart attack’’ at 59yrs of age. On clinical examination you confirmed the obesity (BMI- 31), the patient’s Bp is 165/105mmHg, he admits to smoking 20-30 cigarette a day until his AMI, but no overt evidence of hyperlipidaemia is detected. Other than his father, there is no clear history of premature Coronary Arthery Disease (CAD) in his family. His Total fasting Cholesterol is 5.2mmol/L, HDL- Cholesterol- 0.8 mmol/L, triglycerides- 2.7mmol/L Reference Total Cholesterol (3.10- 6.50mmol/L) HDL- Cholesterol (1.03- 1.55mmol/L) Triglycerides (0.3-1.70 mmol/L) LDL- Cholesterol (2.60- 4.90mmol/L) Discuss the lipid profile in terms of its risk potential and causation Discuss the overall risk of the patient what other laboratory determination(s) may be useful in assessing this patient

Question
You are referred as 49yrs old man from the Asante Akyem South District specifically Juaso for an-ongoing care after having suffered an Acute Myocardial Infarction. The results from the cardiologist states the patient is apparently not hypercholesterolaemic but is somewhat obese and his father died of a ‘’heart attack’’ at 59yrs of age. On clinical examination you confirmed the obesity (BMI- 31), the patient’s Bp is 165/105mmHg, he admits to smoking 20-30 cigarette a day until his AMI, but no overt evidence of hyperlipidaemia is detected. Other than his father, there is no clear history of premature Coronary Arthery Disease (CAD) in his family. His Total fasting Cholesterol is 5.2mmol/L, HDL- Cholesterol- 0.8 mmol/L, triglycerides- 2.7mmol/L
Reference
Total Cholesterol (3.10- 6.50mmol/L)
HDL- Cholesterol (1.03- 1.55mmol/L)
Triglycerides (0.3-1.70 mmol/L)
LDL- Cholesterol (2.60- 4.90mmol/L)
