[Relationship between lipid metabolism disorders and age of first manifestations of coronary heart disease].
In 509 male patients, age less than 45 years, with angiographically documented coronary artery disease (CHD) we found (in contrast to age-matched controls: 459 participants of the PROCAM study) an increased amount of total cholesterol (259 vs. 221 mg/dl), LDL-cholesterol (185 vs. 142 mg/dl), Apo-B (138 vs. 118 mg/dl), lipoprotein(a) (12 vs. 5 mg/dl) and uric acid (6.4 vs. 5.8 mg/dl); HDL-cholesterol (40.5 vs. 46.8 mg/dl), Apo-A-I (122 vs. 143 mg/dl) and Apo-A-II (38 vs. 43 mg/dl) were significantly lower. These differences in lipid-metabolism between CHD-patients and controls in the younger group were essentially more pronounced than in older individuals of a group of 423 male patients over the age of 45 years who suffered from CHD and 545 age-matched PRO-CAM participants. Among the extent of the disorder in lipid metabolism, the apolipoprotein E-polymorphism, and the age of onset of CHD there exists a significant correlation which proves the special importance to therapeutically influence disorders of lipid metabolism especially in younger patients.
