| Abstract: | Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were estimated in 45 dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients and were compared
with 31 healthy controls. The total serum cholesterol (215±50 mg/dl) and serum triglyceride (162±76 mg/dl) levels in DCM patients
did not show any significant changes as compared to normal controls. The cholesterol and triglyceride and the individual lipoprotein
fractions, viz HDL, VLDL, LDL and chylomicrons were analysed in 10 patients. The values did not differ significantly when
compared to those of controls. These findings suggest that serum lipids may not play a role in the antietiopathogenesis of
DCM. |
