Abstract
Background: the relationship between hyperlipidiemia and an increased risk of coronary heart disease has been well documented and has served as a motivating factor for research into lipoproteins structure, function and metabolism. Many epidemiological studies have revealed that chronically elevated lipid and cholesterol levels are associated with an increased incidence of atherosclerosis. Dyslipidemia together with hypertension and diabetes is major modifiable risk factors for atherosclerotic disease and the subsequent development of cardiovascular events. Dyslipidemia is known to be an independent predictor for cardiovascular events, other risk factors including family history, hypertension, tobacco use, age, sex and diabetes also have been found to be associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). This cross-sectional study was aimed to investigate the association of Dyslipidemia as an atherosclerosis predictor and its relationship to the severity of CAD using SYNTAX score. Patients and Methods: the current study included 535 patients who presented during 2015 with chest pain to Dar Al Fouad Hospital, experiencing symptoms of CAD or evidence of CAD by noninvasive testing were enrolled, a fasting blood sample was extracted and assessed for lipids profile. Patients underwent  coronary angiography either using femoral or radial approach, and the resulting angiographic study was used to calculate the SYNTAX score of each patient. Patients were divided in to two group i.e. CAD and Non-CAD group. The CAD group was further divided into three sub-groups according to the SYNTAX score into low risk, intermediate risk and high risk group. Results: in this study, triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL-C levels were positively associated with  sever CAD and higher number of diseased vessels. Higher HCL-C levels were also found in subjects with normal coronaries. Conclusion: there was no significant proportionate, linear relation between the SYNTAX score and the levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol or LDL-C
