[Serum apolipoprotein AI, B levels in patients with coronary diseases].
The levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C, HDL-C, apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein B in the serum were measured in a selected series of 100 CAD patients (77 men and 23 women) who underwent coronary angiography and 141 non-CAD controls. Mean values of those variables differed significantly between the CAD and non-CAD groups matched in age, body weight, hypertension and smoking. There are significant difference in apolipoproteins A1, B and the ratio of apolipoprotein B to A1 between angina and myocardial infarction groups. Using stratified and multivariate stepwise regression analysis, it was shown that the apo A1, apoB/apoA1 are more sensitive and specific than the ordinary indices (e.g. total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C and HDL-C) in estimating the degree of coronary artery stenosis and the differentiation of CAD from other diseases.
