The traditional lipidic parameters when present and clusters within reference range, often fails to predict the risk of acute coronary syndrome in young population in this region. Measurement of Apolipoprotein B (Apo B), a parameter of the lipoprotein-lipid profile, provides a method of quantifying the concentration of lipoproteins, rather than their cholesterol content. Present study aimed to quantify the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in young people with having none to less number of traditional lipidic parameters for dyslipidemia. This is a case control study among 50 cases of first attack of ACS among 18-45 years of age of both sexes, admitted in coronary care unit of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from June 2009 to May 2010. Data was recently reanalyzed. Out of five sub-sets of lipid profile, namely TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and non-HDL-C, 16(32%) cases were dyslipidemic by 0 (none) parameter, 13(26%) cases by one parameter, 7(14%) cases by two parameters, 4(8%) cases by three cases, 7(14%) cases by four parameters and 3(6%) cases by all five parameters. It was found that none to lesser the number of dyslipidemic parameters, greater the percentage of ACS cases and they are having hyper ApoB with statistically significant association (p<0.05).
