Abstract
The serum lipids and apoproteins were determined in 218 male patients including 146 cases with ischemic heart disease and the results were compared with the coronary arteriographic findings. The serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apoprotein B, apoprotein C-II and triglycerides were significantly elevated in ischemic heart disease. There was a significant positive correlation between the serum apoprotein B levels and the severity of stenosing lesions of coronary arteries. There was also a significant positive correlation between the serum LDL cholesterol level and the LDL particle size in the patients with ischemic heart disease.
