Lipoprotein predictors of the severity of coronary artery disease in men and women

A clinical study examined lipid and lipoprotein profiles in 107 patients (42 women, 65 men) with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and in whom an index of CAD severity could be obtained. Severity of CAD was related to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels in men...

Description
Summary:A clinical study examined lipid and lipoprotein profiles in 107 patients (42 women, 65 men) with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and in whom an index of CAD severity could be obtained. Severity of CAD was related to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels in men, and to triglyceride levels in plasma LDL and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) and to cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels in IDL in women. Statistical analysis indicated that 22 per cent of the CAD severity in men could be accounted for by LDL cholesterol, while plasma triglyceride levels accounted for 16 per cent of CAD severity in women.(wz)
