Abstract

Introduction: Currently, cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in developed countries, and it is believed that they also will be the same in developing countries in 2020 year. Among them, coronary arterial disease is the most prevalent manifestation, and is associated to high morbi-mortality. Atherosclerosis is its most important cause and consequently the disorders of the lipids metabolism.

Method: a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational research was carried out in patients discharged from the service of Cardiology of the hospital Faustino Perez in the period from January to December 2015, with the aim of determining the lipid profile in patients discharged for acute coronary syndrome.

Results: it was found an increase of the lipids cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-c, VLDL and Lp(a) in more than 50 % of the studied patients. The indexes of Apo B/Apo A and Col/HDL-c were high risk indicators in 67.5 and 58.75 % respectively.  HDL-c, considered as a protecting factor, was diminished in more than 50 % of the patients.

Conclusions: a correlation was found between the acute coronary syndrome and disturbances in the lipids metabolism. We recommend performing epidemiologic, observational studies to determine the real influence of these factors as causal agent of the acute coronary syndrome.
