Hyperlipoproteinemia in 588 patients with angiographically defined coronary artery disease

Analysis of Lipid Disturbances in Patients with Angiographically Confirmed Coronary Artery Disease

“…The incidence of hyperlipo proteinaemia corresponds to the data of H einle et al [11] in the 'under 50' age group. From the results it ensues that accumulation of two lipoprotein types was present in angiographically and epidemiologically examined CAD patients [2,3,6,11,15], We found a fractional representation of another type (V) which may be one of the two phenotypic expressions of the type IV genotype [19]. For this reason, as secondary causes were excluded, they are referred to under one common heading (tables II-V).…”

“…In all similar studies, the incidence of metabolic disturbances is affected by indications for angiographic examination [2,6,11,15]. All patients in the group examined had signs of CAD, and 64% of them had suffered from myocardial infarction at least half a year ago.…”

“…Selective coronary angio graphy, lately introduced among diagnostic aids, has helped to assess the extent of lesions in coronary artery disease (CAD) and also rendered it pos sible to compare morphologic and biochemical changes [2]. Our interest in this study was directed at several biochemical indices of lipoprotein distur bances or anthropometric indices of fat accumulation.…”
