Background:Mostly dyslipidemia is thought to be the main cause ofmyocardial infractions and other cardiovascular diseases. Total Cholesterol, Triacylglycerol and High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol are found out to be themost common factors for dyslipidemia. So the study of various lipids and their ratios can help to predict the cause and risk for dyslipidemia. Methods: The troponon I was detected qualitatively using “tropnin-kit” method. The blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL) and Triacylglycerol (TG) valueswere analysed using Hitachi Roche 902 autoanalyser using standard methods. Results: We found out thatHDL-c was lower than the normal range almost inmost of the patients and High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol/Total cholesterol and Triglycerides/High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol were little higher than the test value. Conclusion: HDL Cholesterol proved to be the main factor for dyslipidemia and HDL Cholesterol/Total Cholesterol can be used to predict the cardiovascular complication.
