Understanding the cause of coronary heart diseases relies on the analysis of data from a range of techniques on an epidemiological scale. Lipidomics, the identification and quantification of lipid species in a system, is an omic approach increasingly used in epidemiology. The altered concentration of lipids in plasma is one of the recognised risk factors for these diseases. An important first step in the analysis is to profile lipids in healthy volunteers at an epidemiological level to understand how the geneome influences risk factors; for this reason we made use of the control samples within a bigger case-control sample collection in Pakistan from patients with first acute myocardial infarctions. After extraction, the samples were infused into a Thermo Exactive Orbitrap, without any up-front chromatographic separation. The use of direct infusion allowed fast experiment, facilitating the analysis of large sets of samples. The raw data were processed and analysed using scripts within R, to extract all the meaningful information. The data set originated from this study is a valuable resource to both increase our knowledge in lipid metabolism associated with myocardial infarction, and test new methods and strategy in analysing big lipidomic data sets.
