Background : Previous studies reported that visceral fat plays an important role in cardiovascular disease, even in non-obese individuals. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive and radiation-free method for assessing visceral fat. Not much is known whether visceral fat correlates with lipid profile in myocardial infarction (MI) patients in Indonesian population. The purpo…
Introduction : Platelet and lymphocyte are crucial in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) pathogenesis. Platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a systemic biomarker which indicates thrombosis and inflammation. The diagnosis of AMI can be made by detecting elevated blood troponin I levels. The correlation between PLR and troponin I levels in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patien…

Not much is known whether visceral fat correlates with lipid profile in myocardial infarction (MI) patients in Indonesian population. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between visceral fat and serum lipid…
