Serum lipid profile and its association with newly diagnosed hypertensive patients in Bangladesh
Author: Rahman et al. Summary: Clustering of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and other metabolic abnormalities is increasing the burden of non-communicable diseases, especially cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to explore the pattern of lipid profiles in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients attending Shaheed Mansur Ali Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 59 newly diagnosed hypertensive patients were studied through a cross-sectional approach. Prior to the study, ethical clearance was ensured, and informed written consent was obtained. A pre-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 24. Slight male preponderance (54.2%) was observed along with

Status of lipid control in Bangladeshi subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus on lipid-lowering drugs: a multicenter, facility-based, cross-sectional study
Author: Selim et al. Summary: Achievement of lipid targets is crucial in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Data on lipid-control status among patients with T2DM in Bangladesh are scarce. This study was conducted to determine the lipid-control status among patients with T2DM who were on lipid-lowering drugs in the country. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the diabetes outpatient departments of several tertiary hospitals in Bangladesh from January 2022 to December 2022. Adults of both sexes diagnosed with T2DM for at least one year and were on the lipid-lowering drug(s)
Comparison of fasting and random lipid profiles among subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an outpatient-based cross-sectional study in Bangladesh
Author: Kamrul-Hasan et al. Summary: Despite the wide acceptability of fasting lipid profiles in practice, emerging evidence suggests that random lipid profiles might be a convenient alternative for lipid measurement. The objective of the present study was to compare the fasting and random lipid profile among subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The present cross-sectional study included 1543 subjects with T2DM visiting several endocrinology outpatient clinics throughout Bangladesh from January to December 2021. The fasting lipid profile was measured in the morning following 8–10 h of overnight fasting, and the random lipid profile was measured at any time of the
