EVALUATION OF SERUM BUTRYLCHOLINESTERASE ACTIVITY AS BIOMARKER FOR PREDICTING RISK OF ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
Keywords:
Butyrylcholinesterase; Atherosclerosis; Ischemic heart disease; Lipid profile; Biomarkers.Abstract
The incidence, prevalence, mortality and morbidity of ischemic heart disease is increasing
allover the world. Early detection and prevention of ischemic heart disease is important.
Hence, identification of biomarkers for cardiovascular disease and its risk factors is
needed.Aims and objectives of this study was to evaluate the association of
butrylcholinesterase activity with lipid risk ratios in ischemic heart disease. Materials &
Methods: The cross sectional comprises 50 healthy subjects and equal number of
myocardial infarction cases. Serum butrylcholinesterase activity, lipid profile was
estimated and lipid ratios were calculated. Data was statistically analyzed.In our study ,
serum butrylcholinesterase activity was increased in myocardial infarction cases and
correlated with lipid ratios in them . Serum butrylcholinesterase activity may be used in
clinical practice as an tool for prediction of ischemic heart disease.
