title: [Atherogenicity indices and coronary risk].
abstract: The authors compared three different indices, of atherogenicity in 120 men with ischaemic heart disease, type stable angina pectoris (mean age 35.9 +/- 7.54 years) with 30 men of a control group--mean age 42.1 +/- 8.89 years). They evaluated relationship between the atherogenicity index and coronary score by the Spearman correlation coefficient. They consider the index HDL-cholesterol: total cholesterol the best index for evaluation of the coronary risk. This index differentiates men with ischaemic heart disease, type stable angina pectoris with a positive coronary score from the control group of men with a negative coronary score (r = -0.54, p less than 0.001). The index VLDL-cholesterol + LDL-cholesterol: HDL-cholesterol is the best index for evaluation of the severity of atherosclerotic stenosis of the coronary arteries in men with ischaemic heart disease, type stable angina. This index differentiated probands with a different score (r = 0.24, p less than 0.05).
