Özet
Aims: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Evidence showed that an atherogenic lipid pattern is characterized by high levels of small, dense low-density lipoprotein, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated triglyceride and total cholesterol levels; similar with the lipid profiles of diabetics.Methods: In this study, 91 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in Trakya University Hospital Department of Cardiovascular Surgery from April 2017 to September 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. As for statistical analysis, Student’s t-test and Mann Whitney U tests were performed.Results: The lipid profiles of patients were not significantly related to their ages and genders. However, when diabetic patients’ lipid profiles were analyzed, their low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol values were found to be significantly lower.Conclusion: It is unexpected to see that patients with diabetes had significantly lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels than non-diabetic patients. As for the reason, it is thought that patients with diabetes are more conscious of their health condition
